Acquired localised lipoatrophy secondary to transgluteal drainage.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acquired localised lipoatrophy is a focal loss of subcutaneous fat, which is commonly secondary to trauma, injections of medications such as antibiotics or corticosteroids, pressure, previous surgery or panniculitis. We present a case of a patient who experienced focal fat loss in the left gluteal region from a previous left transgluteal drainage of a suspected abscess. There was no medical history of corticosteroid, antibiotic injection or use of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Lipoatrophy occurring as a consequence of a deep pelvic abscess drainage has not been reported in the literature; however, based on the lack of other aetiologies, the diagnosis of acquired localised lipoatrophy secondary to a transgluteal drainage was made in this patient. The aim of this report was to present this rare cause of lipoatrophy that has not previously been described and to acknowledge lipoatrophy as a potential side effect of a deep abscess drainage.
