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: Direct-to-implant (DTI) immediate breast reconstruction has proven to be an oncologically safe technique and linked to better overall results. The introduction of new surgical techniques has prompted us to develop an acellular dermal matrix fixation technique that reduces the rate of complications and implant loss. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from patients who underwent DTI prepectoral breast reconstruction with two different techniques of acellular dermal matrix fixation to the chest wall. Descriptive statistics were reported using frequencies and percentages for categorical variables, and means and SDs for continuous variables. Pearson chi-square test was used to compare differences in categorical variables. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to investigate the predictors of complications. Results: From October 2019 to March 2023, 90 DTI breast reconstructions were performed, 43 using the standard technique and 47 using the new technique. The new technique demonstrated a significant reduction of major complications ( Conclusions: The procedure performed with the proposed modality proved to be advantageous. Careful fixation of the prosthetic implant and the placement of two drains, were the keys to a drastic reduction in complications.
