A Three-Step Reconstruction of the Breast in a Patient With Congenital Unilateral Amastia.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Amastia refers to a condition where breast tissue, nipples, and areoles are congenitally absent, and it can affect one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) breasts. Congenital amastia is a rare condition with only 34 reported cases in the literature. In this case, we report a 17-year-old female with congenital unilateral amastia of the right breast. She came to our clinic due to a cosmetic view of this defect, which was bothering her, and greatly reducing the overall quality of her life. Our patient's physical examination revealed the absence of right breast, and there was no other obvious physical or anatomical abnormality. The defect was successfully reconstructed in three steps. Firstly, 200 cc adipose tissue was transferred under the skin before inserting the breast implant due to increasing the thickness between the skin and the nipple-areola. Secondly, after four months breast implant was inserted. Finally, the patient's right nipple-areola complex (NAC) was reconstructed with a skate flap.
