Unveiling beauty: Insight into being tattooed postmastectomy.
Article in Nursing forum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundIt could be argued that mastectomy tattoos are being considered by some women in contemporary society as an alternative to breast reconstruction.
aimTo gain insight into the experience of "being" tattooed where breast(s) once occupied space, six women with mastectomy tattoos were interviewed. METHODOLOGY: The teachings of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics were engaged to better understand what it means "to be" tattooed postmastectomy. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Discoveries include feeling sad and damaged postmastectomy, embodying the tattoo as a novel representation of self for women living without breast(s), and reclaiming power, control, and confidence in a way that is symbolically meaningful.
conclusionHealth care providers working with women diagnosed with breast cancer are invited to learn from women with mastectomy tattoos and to consider expanding discourse about care to include options beyond breast reconstruction.
