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

A seroma is defined as a serous fluid collection that develops as a response to injury and surgeries, particularly mastectomy and reconstructive and abdominal surgeries. The majority of the seromas are self-limiting and arise in the acute postoperative period; however, diagnosis of seroma several years after surgery has also been reported in the literature. Persistent bacteremia with infected seroma as a source is a rare entity. We present the first case to be reported of persistent bacteremia secondary to infected seroma with septic emboli to lungs and prostate without any evidence of endocarditis on multiple echocardiograms. This case highlights the importance of meticulous physical examination and source control in the management of bacteremia.
