1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Although breast reconstruction has been performed for centuries, there is a constant search for new approaches to achieve an aesthetically pleasing appearance while causing minimal patient morbidity. In our previous article, we have described our experience with the bipedicled musculo-derma-glandular, axio-perforator flap. The main advantage of this well-vascularized flap is the ability to restore the shape after mastectomy while removing the excess tissue from the hypertrophic and ptotic healthy breast. Based on our promising results with this technique in the previous two patients, we combined the breast reconstruction using bipedicled musculo-derma-glandular, axio-perforator flap with simultaneous nipple-areolar complex reconstruction. The surgery was successful, and the patient did not experience any complications. We believe this technique can be applied for patients with breast hypertrophy and ptosis to achieve reliable and aesthetically acceptable results in a one-stage operation.
