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

Application value of laparoscopy in radical mastectomy and omental breast reconstruction was explored. The medical records of 104 patients undergoing radical mastectomy and omental breast reconstruction from July 2015 to August 2017 in Inner Mongolia Xing'an League People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Fifty-three patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery were the experimental group and 51 patients undergoing open surgery were the control group. The surgery conditions, upper limb function, postoperative complications, volume similarity between unilateral subcutaneous glands and autologous omentum, cosmetic excellent rate and treatment satisfaction were observed. The surgical duration of the patients in the experimental group was significantly longer than that in the control group, but the intraoperative blood loss was less and hospital stay was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). The improvement of upper limb function in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). The cosmetic excellent rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.001). The incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group (P<0.001). The satisfaction degree of patients in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.001). Filling the autologous omentum while excising the unilateral mammary gland is an equivalent replacement, which can make the appearance of the breast on the operation side similar to that on the healthy side, thus improving the excellent rate of breast beauty and patient satisfaction.
