Modified goldilocks nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral implant-based reconstruction: a case report.

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
Background: Nearly 80% of women who undergo post-mastectomy reconstruction opt for implant-based reconstruction. Preservation of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) significantly improves patient satisfaction; however in women with macromastia or breast ptosis, NAC preservation carries an increased risk of nipple ischemia. Traditional options have included free nipple grafts or a staged reconstruction, however in patients with aggressive or multifocal breast cancer, this is not feasible due to the need for timely oncologic resection. The Goldilocks mastectomy, which utilizes redundant adipodermal tissue to recreate a breast mound, was originally designed for women with large or ptotic breasts who did not desire post-mastectomy reconstruction. However, this technique has been modified in several ways. In this case report, we present our approach to a patient with breast ptosis and multifocal breast cancer who desired NAC preservation, volume preservation and mastopexy using the modified Goldilocks technique with pre-pectoral implant-based reconstruction. Case Description: A 38-year-old woman, with a bra size of 36C, presented with grade II, multifocal, estrogen receptor positive, progesterone receptor negative, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 positive right breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma. The patient's aesthetic goals included: preservation of the NACs, elevation of NAC position, reduction in areola diameter, and maintenance of breast volume using implant-based reconstruction. As a result of her multifocal breast cancer, she was not a candidate for staged mastopexy followed by mastectomy and reconstruction. Therefore, the patient underwent bilateral Goldilocks NSM, right sentinel lymph node biopsy, and immediate implant-based reconstruction using the modified Goldilocks technique with acellular dermal matrix (ADM). At 3-month follow-up, the patient was satisfied with the overall aesthetic outcome of her breasts. Conclusions: We present a patient with breast ptosis and multifocal breast cancer who desired NAC preservation and implant-based reconstruction, but was not a candidate for staged reoperation. This case report is the first to describe a modified Goldilocks NSM with pre-pectoral implant-based reconstruction.
