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

Objective: To investigate the benefits and drawbacks of breast reconstruction with endoscopic-assisted harvesting of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap for breast cancer and treatment experience of postoperative operation-related complications. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 26 female patients with breast cancer who met the selection criteria between September 2021 and March 2023 aging 48.7 years (range, 26-69 years). All tumors were unilateral, with 17 on the left side and 9 on the right side. The tumor size ranged from 1.0 to 7.0 cm, with an average of 2.7 cm. The pathological staging included T Results: The operation time was 280-480 minutes (mean, 376.7 minutes), the incision length was 10-15 cm (mean, 12.2 cm), the postoperative drainage volume in 3 days was 500-1 600 mL (mean, 930.2 mL). There were 4 cases of postoperative seroma, 1 case of incision rupture, 1 case of paresthesia of the thoracic wall, and 1 case of edema of the ipsilateral upper limb. All patients were followed up 12-30 months (mean, 20.1 months). No latissimus dorsi muscle flap necrosis, latissimus dorsi muscle atrophy, or shoulder joint dysfunction occurred during follow-up; 2 patients had recurrence of lymph nodes in the ipsilateral axilla after operation, but no distant metastasis occurred. Breast-Q score at 6 months after operation was 64-100 (mean, 79.5). The average score was 78.6 (range, 64-100) in patients underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy and 81.0 (range, 78-100) in patients underwent breast conserving surgery. Conclusion: Breast reconstruction with endoscopic-assisted harvesting of the latissimus dorsi muscle flap for breast cancer is proven to be a surgical approach with safety and cosmetic effects with mild postoperative operation-related complications and considerable patient satisfaction.
