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

Tuberculosis rarely affects the breast. This report presents a case of a microbiologically confirmed primary tubercular breast abscess in a young Ethiopian woman. A 26-year-old woman presented with left breast swelling and pain for 1 year. She was initially suspected to have a pyogenic abscess of the breast and was treated with unspecified oral antibiotics but had no clinical response. In addition, surgical drainage was done, followed by a 4-week course of oral amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. However, the swelling gradually increased in size and formed a sinus tract with a purulent discharge. Subsequently, breast tuberculosis was suspected, and a GeneXpert from the discharge was performed, which revealed rifampicin-sensitive
