Unconventional Treatment of Breast Abscess: Case Report.
Article in Women's health reports (New Rochelle, N.Y.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We describe the case of two lactating mothers with breast abscesses who refused invasive interventions. In the first case, a mother developed a 10 mm abscess and refused needle aspiration. Under ultrasonography (US) follow-up she was treated with antibiotics until the abscess disappeared on the US scan, while fully breastfeeding. In the second case, a woman with a large abscess refused invasive interventions. We followed the recommendations in case of breast Adenitis, first to nurse the baby from the affected breast and then squeezing regularly the lump to drain the pus. In this study, we demonstrate that this procedure is also beneficial in the case of breast abscesses. Under antibiotic treatment, the abscess was completely resolved on the US scan after 23 days. In conclusion, when invasive intervention is refused in the case of breast abscess, successful treatment can be applied by using effective breast drainage, US follow-up, and aggressive antibiotic therapy.
