Case report of the combination of a TRAM flap, lipofilling, and 3-D tattooing after failed implant-based reconstruction: improving aesthetic results.

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.
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
We present a complex case of a patient diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. The patient initially underwent bilateral skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate subpectoral implant-base breast reconstruction. She had an uncomplicated postoperative recovery. However, three months later, she developed a severe and persistent local infection during adjuvant chemotherapy, resulting in the loss of the breast implants and the formation of massive deforming scars in the chest area. To address this, the patient underwent a series of reconstructive procedures. Lipofilling was used on the chest wall to improve skin quality, followed by a late bilateral transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap for breast reconstruction. Additionally, the final aesthetic result was enhanced by applying a 3-D tattoo. This case highlights the use of a sequence of reconstructive procedures as a feasible alternative to manage complex and extensive scars after failure of primary breast reconstruction.
