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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the association between mammary intraductal secretions (IDS) and demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory indicators and prognosis in patients with non-puerperal mastitis (NPM). PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective analysis of 340 NPM patients who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Breast, Shuguang Hospital, between April 2020 and December 2021 was conducted. Based on intraoperative findings of IDS, patients were divided into two groups: the IDS group (with intraductal lipid-like secretions) and the non-IDS group (without intraductal lipid-like secretions). Demographic data, clinical features, laboratory parameters, and prognostic outcomes were systematically compared between the two groups.

resultsPatients with NPM and IDS had a significantly higher median age at disease onset (33 years vs. 32 years; P = 0.047) and body mass index (BMI) (24.0 kg/m

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that obesity-related IDS are significantly associated with increased systemic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and unfavorable prognostic outcomes in NPM. The identification of IDS provides valuable insight for risk stratification and supports the development of personalized management strategies. Overweight and obesity were identified as independent risk factors for IDS, highlighting weight control as a potential therapeutic approach. Future investigations should focus on elucidating the underlying mechanisms and exploring targeted therapeutic strategies to improve clinical outcomes.
