Safe and Efficient Implant-based Breast Reconstruction.
Review in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Implant-based breast reconstruction is a safe and effective option associated with high patient satisfaction. Techniques have evolved significantly over the past several decades, characterized mostly by a reduction in the number of stages and time required to complete reconstruction, with maximal preservation of native breast elements. Nevertheless, both old and new techniques of implant-based breast reconstruction have a role depending on the specific clinical scenario, and thus plastic surgeons should be well versed in the full spectrum of options. This article reviews the key considerations underlying decision-making in implant-based breast reconstruction and the most effective techniques, with a focus on optimizing safety and efficiency.
