Post-Breast Surgery Pain Syndrome: Shifting a Surgical Paradigm.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Post-mastectomy pain syndrome and the less well-described post-breast surgery pain syndrome are long-term neuropathic pain conditions that may affect more than 50% of patients after mastectomy and breast surgery. While the etiology, risk factors, and management have been reviewed in our literature, we offer here a focused outline that will gear the plastic surgeon with tools to lead a multidisciplinary, algorithmic approach to the care of patients with post-mastectomy pain syndrome/post-breast surgery pain syndrome. After reading this article, we hope the reader will have improved awareness of post-mastectomy pain syndrome/post-breast surgery pain syndrome, and thus be able to incorporate appropriate treatments and preventative steps into their primary surgical routine.
