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

Treatments for breast cancer can have an array of adverse effects, including hair loss, scarring, and irritated skin. These physical outcomes can, in turn, lead to body image concerns, anxiety, and depression. Fortunately, there is growing evidence that certain cosmetic therapies can improve patient self-image. Here we review various cosmetic treatment options including hair camouflage, eyebrow and eyelash camouflage, treatments for hirsutism, nipple and areola tattooing, post-mastectomy scar tattooing, treatments for dry skin/xerosis, removal of post-radiation telangiectasias, and lightening of post-radiation hyperpigmentation. For each patient concern, we report potential procedures, clinical evidence of impact on quality of life, special considerations, and safety concerns. This article aims to equip dermatologists with resources so that they may effectively counsel breast cancer survivors who express treatment-related cosmetic concerns.
