Usefulness of using additional ultrasonic dissection device in breast cancer surgery: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Gland surgery, 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
backgroundIn breast cancer surgery, electrocautery (EC) is commonly used with the basic method of knot tying, and there are few reports of using other devices such as ultrasonic dissection device (UDD). This study was designed to compare the case of using EC with the basic method of knot tying and the case of using UDD in breast cancer surgery.
methodsFrom April 2019 to March 2020, 376 patients who underwent breast cancer surgery at Pusan National University Hospital were enrolled. We compared operation time, complications, and blood loss volume between surgery with and without UDD.
resultsWe included 306 patients for the final analysis, 142 in the control group and 164 in the trial group. The operation time [minutes (min)] was significantly reduced in the trial group compared to the control group (111.2
conclusionsOur study showed that the use of a UDD for surgeons to select instruments for breast cancer surgery may be a good option for both patients and surgeons.
