Partial Breast Reconstruction with Lateral Chest Wall Perforator Flap to Facilitate Breast Conservation in Breast Cancer: First 100 Cases with Cancer Outcomes at 8 Years Follow-Up and the Lessons Learned.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundThis is a prospective cohort study of partial breast reconstruction (PBR) with a lateral chest wall perforator flap (LCWPF) to facilitate breast conservation surgery (BCS) for women undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The study was undertaken to study the clinical and cancer outcomes.
methodsPatients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or breast cancer who consented to undergo BCS with PBR with LCWPF were included in the study. A prospective database has been maintained to collect information on clinico-pathological features, complications, and follow-up. Patients were asked to complete an anonymised PROM questionnaire over the years. The hospital electronic records were interrogated for women who have completed 5 years follow-up to assess for development of recurrence/events.
resultsA total of 105 patients underwent PBR with LCWPFs between 2011 and 2018. Of these, 74% underwent cancer resection and PBR as one operation whilst 26% underwent PBR as a two-stage approach. The median tumor size on pre-op imaging was 30 mm for the one-stage approach and 39.5 mm for the two-stage approach ( DISCUSSION: This is the first published series of recurrence and survival data in patients undergoing PBR. We intend to continue with data collection to assess long-term outcomes beyond 10 years. The authors would recommend consideration of this technique to facilitate BCS and avoid mastectomy.
