Factors Associated With Socioeconomic Disparities in Breast Reconstruction: Perspectives of Wisconsin Surgeons.
Article in Clinical breast cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe objective is to expand our understanding of the factors associated with receipt of breast reconstruction for socioeconomically disadvantaged women within Wisconsin.
methodsA purposeful sample of general/breast and plastic surgeons were identified. One-on-one interviews were conducted, audio-recorded, and transcribed in full (n = 15). Conventional content analysis was performed to identify themes.
resultsBoth general/breast and plastic surgeons perceived that general/breast surgeons served as gatekeepers to which patients are offered a referral for reconstruction. Given the additional recovery time, frequent clinic visits, and potential for complications associated with reconstruction, general/breast surgeons perceived that not all women prioritize it. Surgeons perceived this to be especially true for socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Surgeons identified time off work, travel for visits, and out-of-pocket costs as specific challenges to reconstruction experienced by socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Surgeons perceived that early education, incorporating financial considerations into discussions, and reducing travel burden may help to improve access to reconstruction.
conclusionWisconsin surgeons described factors they perceived contributed to lower rates of reconstruction for socioeconomically disadvantaged women and described ways to increase reconstruction access.
