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

Background: Up to 42% of all breast cancer patients undergo post-mastectomy reconstruction, however reconstructive techniques have not been widely studied in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Reconstructive complications may delay adjuvant treatments; in TNBC, which inherently carries an increased risk of locoregional recurrence, this can greatly affect oncological outcomes. Therefore, we evaluate factors influencing choice of reconstructive techniques following mastectomy in TNBC patients and assess operative and oncologic safety outcomes. Methods: A single institution retrospective chart review identified TNBC patients who underwent post-mastectomy reconstruction between 2010 to 2020. Clinical characteristics collected included demographics, cancer history, reconstructive techniques [autologous-based reconstruction (ABR) Results: During the 10-year period, 52.9% (n=127) of all post-mastectomy TNBC patients (n=240) underwent breast reconstruction, most frequently immediately after mastectomy (97.0%). Most patients underwent IBR compared to ABR (82.4% Conclusions: Factors such as age, BMI, and breast cancer history impacted choice of reconstructive technique among TNBC women. No differences in complications, recurrence, or mortality occur in these high-risk patients regardless of reconstructive technique, highlighting that neither ABR nor IBR is superior in regard to surgical and oncologic safety in post-mastectomy TNBC patients.
