A Prospective Randomized Study to Compare Postoperative Drainage After Mastectomy Using Electrosurgical Bipolar Systems and Conventional Electro-Cautery.
Article in Journal of breast cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeAdvanced energy devices, including electrosurgical bipolar systems or ultrasonic shears, are widely used in various surgeries. An electrosurgical bipolar device allows surgeons to grasp and dissect tissues, as well as simultaneously ligate and cut vessels and lymphatics during surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of advanced bipolar energy devices on the reduction in seroma formation during mastectomy, axillary staging, and/or reconstruction.
methodsThis prospective randomized clinical trial with a 1:1 ratio compared the use of an electrosurgical bipolar device, LigaSure
resultsThe clinicopathological characteristics of the two groups were not significantly different. The total postoperative drainage volume was significantly lower in the LGS group than in the control group (756.26 mL vs. 1,167.74 mL,
conclusionElectrosurgical bipolar devices showed better performance in terms of decreasing postoperative drainage during mastectomy and axillary staging and/or reconstruction.
