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

introduction and importanceSurgical management of grade III gynecomastia with excess redundant skin is challenging. The choice of the surgical technique is mainly decided upon the size of the gynecomastia, the skin redundancy and correction of nipple position. CASE PRESENTATION: We report our experience in the use of the circular incision bi-pedicled vertical flap based mastectomy for grade III gynecomastia according to Simon classification. This is a retrospective study conducted between January 2022 and April 2023 at two selected units in Sri Lanka. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: A total of 7 patients with bilateral grade III gynecomastia were included in this study with a median age of 24 years (range: 18-42 years). The mean BMI was 23.2 kg/m

conclusionThe above surgical technique achieved satisfactory aesthetic results while avoiding unsightly scars or serious complications and can be considered in the surgical decision making for grade III gynecomastia.
