A Retrospective Study of Latissimus Dorsi Flap in Immediate Breast Reconstruction.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThere are many different methods used for immediate breast reconstruction, but the advantages and disadvantages between distinct methods are not reported and compared directly.
methodsWe collected the data of patients who underwent breast reconstruction from 2010 to 2015 and classified a total of 103 patients into three groups: i) skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant and partial latissimus dorsi flap (MIPLD); ii) skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy with the whole latissimus dorsi flap (MWLD); and iii) breast-conserving surgery and partial latissimus dorsi flap (BCSPLD). The outcome, safety, and cosmetic outcome of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap with or without implant were reported and compared.
resultsThe procedures were successful in all cases. None of the patients had severe complications. The 5-year distant metastasis-free survival is 94.2%. All the patients exhibited good arm and back function. Based on the evaluation of the BREAST-Q score, the cosmetic outcome of Satisfaction with Breasts was excellent or good in 97.8% of the cases.
conclusionsMIPLD, MWLD, and BCSPLD stand for three distinct methods for immediate breast reconstruction with good outcome and aesthetic effect. They were safe, were easy to perform, and provided quick recovery and good quality of life. Therefore, these three breast reconstructive methods are worthy of widespread use in clinical practice and provide different ways to reconstruct the breast according to the patients' conditions and preferences.
