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

backgroundWhether a laparoscopically harvested omental flap is adequate for total breast reconstruction could not be determined preoperativaly due to lack of reliable assessment methods. This study aimed to establish a statistical model to predict the probability of omental flap insufficiency.

methodsIn this study, 200 female patients with breast cancer receiving immediate breast reconstruction with pure pedicled omental flaps or pedicled omental flaps combined with implants after nipple-areolar complex-sparing mastectomy were divided into two groups depending on whether implants were needed or not. The clinical characteristics of these two groups were compared. Correlation of body mass index (BMI) and omental volume was analyzed. Binary logistic regression was performed to predict the probability of implant requirement based on clinical parameters, showing significant differences between the two groups.

resultsThe patients who needed implants in adjunct treatment were younger. In addition, they had larger breast specimens and smaller omental volumes than the others whose omental flaps were sufficient for total breast reconstruction. Body mass index and omental volume showed a moderately positive correlation. Age, specimen volume, and BMI all were entered into the logistic regression equation. For the patients with a BMI lower than 24.0 kg/m

conclusionThe combination of BMI, age, and volume of breast specimen could predict with high accuracy whether implants are required for breast cancer patients receiving pedicled omental flap-based breast reconstruction.
