1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeWe conducted a systematic literature search and pooled data from studies to compare the incidence of complications between the tumescent and non-tumescent techniques for mastectomy.

methodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, BioMed Central, Ovid, and CENTRAL databases for studies comparing the two mastectomy techniques up to November 1

resultsNine studies were included with one randomized controlled trial (RCT). Meta-analysis indicated no statistically significant difference in the incidence of total skin necrosis (OR 1.18 95% CI 0.71, 1.98 I

conclusionLow-quality evidence derived mostly from non-randomized studies is indicative of no difference in the incidence of skin necrosis, hematoma, seroma, infection, and explantation between the tumescent and non-tumescent techniques of mastectomy. There is a need for high-quality RCTs to further strengthen the evidence.
