In one paragraph

Review in World journal of plastic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05458154 (Evaluation and Re-evaluation of Post-mastectomy Pain Syndrome by Breast Cancer EDGE Task Force Outcomes), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

From discussing the etiologies of post-mastectomy pain syndrome and potential methods of prevention, the next step is to create specific methods of prevention and to identify ways to measure their effects. With the increase in breast cancer related surgeries and increased survival after breast cancer patients, efforts must be made to prevent chronic pain and improve quality of life for these patients after surgery. The plastic surgeon, skilled in breast reconstruction and peripheral nerve reconstruction, may play a significant role in eliminating chronic pain after breast cancer related surgery.
