Optimizing Symmetry after Unilateral Mastectomy and Reconstruction with a Less Form-stable Prepectoral Implant.

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
Implant-based breast reconstruction after bilateral mastectomy allows for excellent symmetry between the reconstructed breasts. After unilateral mastectomy, it is difficult to achieve symmetry between the reconstructed and native breast. In the past, anatomical implants provided a reconstruction that more closely resembled the shape of a native breast compared with the cohesive, round subpectoral implants commonly placed today. Here, we describe the use of a less form-stable round implant placed in the prepectoral plane after mastectomy which provides improved symmetry with the contralateral native breast.
