Waist Circumference and Cardiovascular Risk Profiles after Autologous Breast Reconstruction: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To date, few studies have examined changes in waist circumference and cardiovascular risk profile (CVRP) after autologous breast reconstruction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of flap surgery using autologous tissue on waist circumference and CVRP through a nationwide population-based cohort study. In total, 6926 patients who underwent autologous breast reconstruction between 2015 and 2019 were considered. Of them, we evaluated 3444 patients who underwent the complete Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Screening (NHIS-HealS) before and after surgery. Body measurements, including waist circumference, weight, and body mass index; and CVRP, including blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and cholesterol levels, were analyzed by type of surgery up to 3-4 years postoperatively. The body measurements of patients who underwent abdominal-based breast reconstruction were reduced 1-2 years after surgery, but returned to preoperative values 3-4 years after surgery. Regardless of the type of surgery, CVRP was worsened at both 1-2 years and 3-4 years after surgery, except for low-density lipoprotein values. Autologous breast reconstruction did not ameliorate the deterioration of CVRP over time. In addition, the abdominoplasty effect of abdominal-based breast reconstruction disappeared 1-2 years after surgery.
