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
Oncoplastic surgery is widely popular due to its ability to achieve curative tumor resection and symmetry of both breasts, and as a result of reduced psychological distress after mastectomy. Immediate nipple reconstruction was discussed and the gold standard procedure is inconclusive. Immediate nipple reconstruction with simultaneous breast reconstruction provides satisfactory esthetic results, compared with the delayed procedure. The "inverted lotus bud flap" was demonstrated as a new technique for immediate nipple reconstruction. The advantage of this technique is adequate nipple projection with minimization of scarring. In conclusion, oncoplastic breast surgery with immediate nipple reconstruction was demonstrated to be a safe and esthetically reliable procedure, leading to reduced psychological distress. This single-stage procedure promotes psychosocial well-being after breast cancer surgery. Immediate nipple reconstruction using the "inverted lotus bud flap" technique is versatile, reliable, and offers good esthetic results.
