Oncological Safety, Surgical Outcome, and Patient Satisfaction of Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery With Contralateral Balancing Reduction Mammoplasty.

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
introductionOncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) is considered a cornerstone in the management of locally invasive breast cancer. We evaluated patient-reported outcomes of OBCS with contralateral balancing breast reduction mammoplasty and reviewed its oncologic outcomes and complications.
methodsThis is mixed method study design using retrospective chart review and prospective cohort study. Patient demographics were reviewed. Outcome measures included clinicopathologic characteristics, complications, margin status, local recurrence, tumor histopathologies, duration of follow-up, patient satisfaction, self-esteem, event-related stress, and quality of life.
resultsA total of 48 patients were included in this study. Complete excision with negative margins was obtained in 42 (87.5%) patients, positive margins in 6 (12.5%) patients, all who had re-excision with repeat lumpectomy. Thirteen patients developed minor complications, defined as being managed as an outpatient. No patients developed major complications requiring inpatient admission. These complications did not delay commencement of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Postsurgery BREAST-Q
conclusionOur study has shown that the patient who undergo OBCS have high patient-reported outcomes with acceptable oncologic outcomes and complication rates.
