Veritas in Immediate Implant-based Breast Reconstruction Is Associated with Higher Complications Compared with TiLOOP.

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
Biologic and synthetic meshes are used in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction for coverage of the lower pole of the implant. This study aimed to compare outcomes of Veritas with TiLOOP bra (TiLOOP group [TG]).
methodsRetrospective study of skin- and nipple-sparing mastectomies in patients who underwent an implant-based reconstruction using either Veritas or TiLOOP bra between January 2014 and December 2016 was performed.
resultsThirty-six reconstructions (22 unilateral, 7 bilateral) using the Veritas mesh and 179 breast reconstructions (61 unilateral, 59 bilateral) using TiLOOP bra were identified. The Veritas group (VG) showed a higher rate of postoperative complications compared with the TG (VG = 54% versus TG = 14%,
conclusionsVeritas mesh was associated with a significantly higher rate of postoperative complications compared with TiLOOP bra. Our data strongly question the safety profile of Veritas in implant-based breast reconstruction. Further studies in this area are warranted.
