Challenges in Autologous Breast Reconstruction: A Review of Recommendations.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer treatment and offers significant psychosocial benefits for patients undergoing mastectomy as a part of their treatment plan. Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) utilizes a patient's own tissue to reconstruct the mastectomy defect, obviating the need for the implantation of a foreign object. As the field of plastic surgery progresses, ABR has become an excellent option for the recreation of a native breast mount. With that said, there are patient populations who present unique challenges when optimizing an aesthetic ABR result. We aim to discuss these challenging groups, including patients with both high and low body mass index (BMI), patients with a history of massive weight loss, patients who require post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT), and patients electing for unilateral procedures where the surgeon attempts to match the reconstructed breast with the native breast. In our discussion, we review the literature recommendations for management as well as our experiences with our own patient cases. Ultimately, we believe this procedure can be performed in a wide variety of patient types and can be offered to those who may not be considered the "ideal" candidate.
