Immediate Breast Reconstruction Outcomes in Patients with Prior Mantle and Whole Breast Irradiation.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Limited studies have detailed the risk of mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction among women who previously received mantle field radiation. Methods: A single institution retrospective review from 2010 to 2020 of patients previously treated with mantle field radiation (MF-RT) and subsequent mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction was performed. Patients with prior whole breast irradiation (WBI) were also included as a reference group. Demographic, comorbidity, and surgical factors were collected. The primary outcome was major complications, defined as those requiring reoperation, intravenous antibiotics, or debridement. Results: Fourteen patients with prior MF-RT (27 breasts) and 129 with prior WBI (132 breasts) underwent mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. Prior MF-RT patients were significantly younger (43.8 versus 57.5, Conclusion: Immediate tissue expander/implant-based reconstruction in prior MF-RT patients seems safe, with a complication risk similar to that of prior WBI patients.
