1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundReduction mammoplasty (RM) is an important procedure in the management of symptomatic greater breast hypertrophy with or without early-stage breast cancer. We aim to introduce a new procedure: the three-pedicle reduction mammaplasty technique.

methodsA prospectively maintained database was reviewed, and two prospectively registered clinical studies were included of all breast hypertrophy patients with or without breast cancer who underwent three-pedicle RM with inverted T incision at West China Hospital or the Fourth People's Hospital of Sichuan Province from 2018 to 2022. Patient demographics, patient-reported cosmetic results, quality of life (QoL), surgical outcomes and complications were assessed.

resultsDuring a median period of 22.5 months, 101 reduction mammaplasties were performed (M

conclusionsThe three-pedicle RM technique was demonstrated to be an effective and safe RM procedure for moderate to severe breast hypertrophy patients with or without breast cancer, with the advantages of removing the lesions, reducing hypertrophic breasts and accomplishing mammoplasty.
