Prevention of Post-Mastectomy Seroma in Breast Cancer Patients:

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fibrin glue versus quilting in preventing post-mastectomy seroma formation in breast cancer patients. Methods: This study was a prospective, randomised interventional trial conducted between July 2021 and June 2022 at Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria. It involving patients with breast cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Patients were randomly assigned to Group A (fibrin glue) or Group B (quilting). The level of statistical significance was set at Results: A total of 42 patients were recruited for the study. The total volume of drainage for Group A was lower, and there was a statistically significant difference ( Conclusions: This study has demonstrated that there was no statistically significant difference in the effectiveness of fibrin glue compared to quilting in preventing post-mastectomy seroma in breast cancer patients. However, the fibrin glue group exhibited a lower volume of drainage, shorter duration of drainage and reduced length of hospital stay.
