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

backgroundWe report our early experience of a novel muscle-sparing breast (prepectoral) reconstruction technique using a pre-shaped Braxon® mesh (acellular dermal matrix) which completely wraps around the breast implant.

methodsAll patients who underwent prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction between April 2014 and September 2015 were included in the analysis. The dermal matrix Braxon® used is a pre-shaped matrix which forms a complete implant mesh wrap. The new breast created is placed over the chest wall without disturbing the pectoralis musculature.

resultsA total of 51 (42 unilateral and 9 bilateral) muscle-sparing breast reconstructions were carried out. Complications included implant loss (n = 1; 1.7%) secondary to wound infection, seroma (n = 4; 6.7%), and superficial wound dehiscence (n = 1; 1.7%) which was re-sutured without further complication. The median follow-up period was 16.4 (range 8-25) months.

conclusionThe early experience appears highly satisfactory with good clinical outcome. The novel prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction using the mesh wrap provides an effective alternative to the more traditional submuscular implant-based technique.
