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

backgroundFew studies have investigated the differences in clinical features of patients with mastitis following Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii infection, and most focused on the bacterial antimicrobial susceptibility, detection methods and therapy. METHODOLOGY: There were 133 patients with mastitis infected by C. kroppenstedtii between August 2016 and September 2019. C. kroppenstedtii was identified using mass spectrometry. The demographics, clinical diagnosis, laboratory test results of different types of mastitis combined with bacillus infection, and the effects of different treatments in reducing recurrence were compared.

resultsThe incidence of pus following C. kroppenstedtii infection was higher in patients with non-granulomatous lobular mastitis (NGLM; 56.6%) than in those with granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM; 33.3%; χ

conclusionIncreased pus, large masses, and an elevated CRP level may occur in patients with mastitis infected by C.kroppenstedtii. These clinical features may guide the determination of the bacterial infection in patients with mastitis. Combining an antibiotic with a triamcinolone acetonide lavage, preferably cefuroxime, may reduce the recurrence.
