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

backgroundBreast abscess is a common infectious disease of the breast, but breast abscess caused solely by Peptoniphilus harei is extremely rare. Endoscopic breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer is an emerging breast surgical technique that is considered a clean procedure with a low postoperative infection rate. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a patient who underwent endoscopic breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer and developed a breast abscess in the surgical area after radiotherapy. Bacterial culture and identification confirmed that the abscess was caused by Peptoniphilus harei infection. After treatment with antibiotics targeting Peptoniphilus harei and active wound debridement, the patient achieved complete recovery.

conclusionsThis is the first reported case of breast abscess caused solely by Peptoniphilus harei after endoscopic breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy for breast cancer. Early identification of the pathogen and targeted treatment are essential for successful management.
