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
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of small-incision, point-by-point debridement combined with double-cannula negative-pressure irrigation and drainage in the treatment of granulomatous mastitis.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective matched cohort study included 118 patients with granulomatous mastitis who were treated at the Third People's Hospital of Mianyang between January 2022 and December 2024. Patients with comparable clinical characteristics were matched in a 1:1 ratio and assigned to either the treatment or control group, with 59 patients in each group. Patients in the treatment group underwent small-incision, point-by-point debridement of necrotic tissue combined with double-cannula continuous negative-pressure irrigation and drainage, whereas those in the control group underwent conventional incision and drainage combined with negative-pressure drainage. Postoperative drainage volume, time to drain removal, frequency of dressing changes, wound healing time, primary healing rate, recurrence rate, and breast shape score were compared between the two groups.ResultsCompared with the control group, the treatment group had a significantly lower postoperative drainage volume, fewer dressing changes, shorter time to drain removal, and shorter wound healing time. The recurrence rate was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (χ
