Breast infection after nipple piercing in augmented breasts: a case report and review of literature.

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
Breast augmentation is among the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures worldwide. Although postoperative infections are uncommon, breast implant-associated infections can be severe and challenging to treat. Nipple piercings, increasingly popular among young women, are a recognized source of local infection, yet their implications in patients with implants remains poorly characterized. This report describes a case of breast infection following nipple piercing in a woman with breast implants and to review the relevant literature. A 23-year-old woman with a history of subpectoral breast augmentation underwent bilateral nipple piercing and subsequently developed rapidly progressive left breast pain, erythema and purulent drainage. Ultrasound revealed a multiloculated abscess. Aspiration cultures grew
