Side effects in breast implants related to radiotherapy in breast cancer reconstructive surgery.
Article in Technical innovations & patient support in radiation oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Breast reconstructive surgery with silicone implants is routinely one of the techniques performed immediately after a mastectomy and before adjuvant radiotherapy. Implant shell degradation may result in gel bleeding that can trigger capsular disease. The silicone corpuscle in contact with the implant fibrous capsule can promote an inflammatory reaction, identified as silicone-induced granuloma which is, related to clinical complaints referred to as breast implant illness. This short communication aims to demonstrate and discuss the impact of radiotherapy's side effects on patients with post-mastectomy reconstructive breast surgery with silicone implants followed by adjuvant radiation therapy.
