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

Seroma, a fluid collection that can develop after surgery, can be a challenging complication to manage. Conventional treatment options, such as quilting suture and drainage tubes, may not be effective in resolving refractory seromas. This article presents two cases of refractory seroma after axillary osmidrosis surgery that were successfully treated with silver nitrate. Silver nitrate, a topical agent with antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, has been shown to be effective in treating perianal fistulas and persistent tracheocutaneous fistulas. In both cases presented here, silver nitrate resulted in complete seroma resolution within 7 and 14 days, respectively. This study suggests that silver nitrate may be a promising treatment option for refractory seroma after axillary osmidrosis surgery. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and establish optimal dosage and treatment protocols.
