Immediate Reconstruction of the Nipple-areola Complex Using Inferior Pedicle Skin for Central Tumors of the Breast.

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
The nipple-areola complex (NAC) must be considered as an integral part of the breast with regard to morale and self-assurance. Achieving good aesthetic outcome is a challenge after excision of the NAC in retroareolar tumors. This article looks into immediate reconstruction of the NAC using inferior pedicle skin in patients after central excision of retroareolar tumors. Sixteen patients had breast conservation surgery for retroareolar tumors by a single surgeon between September 2016 and November 2021, and six of them had nipple-areola reconstruction with inferior pedicle skin. None of the patients having NAC reconstruction had any recorded complications and none needed reexcision of the margins. Five out of six patients undergoing NAC reconstruction had good to excellent aesthetic outcome as recorded in the patient questionnaire. There was no locoregional recurrence or distant metastasis in the whole group after a median follow-up of 17 months (2-62).
