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

Case control analysis of breast tissue expander (TE) infections after clinic-based expansion procedures from 2019 to 2022 in a large county hospital found no significant modifiable risk factors, including implant type. Suboptimal sterile access may be an independent contributor to TE infections following clinic procedures. Ongoing protocol adherence and monitoring are needed.
