National Trends and In-Hospital Outcomes for Immediate Implant-Based Versus Autologous-Based Breast Reconstruction: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundBreast reconstruction consists primarily of two methods: autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) and implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR). Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages. The current study used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), the largest inpatient database in the United States, to explore the trends, complications, and disparities in the use of IBR and ABR.
methodsThe current study used the NIS database from 2016 to 2020, including the International Classification of Diseases, 10th version (ICD-10) codes. A propensity score-matching (1:1) analysis was used to match the IBR and ABR groups.
resultsThe percentage of breast reconstruction increased from 58.8% in 2016 to 63.4% by 2020. The trend of ABR was upward, and the trend of IBR was downward. In addition, the ABR group had significantly higher rates of cardiovascular complications (odds ratio [OR], 1.29), respiratory complications (OR, 4.26), vascular complications requiring surgery (OR, 7.82), blood transfusions (OR, 3.44), vasopressor need (OR, 1.409), and acute kidney injury (OR, 1.68). However, the ABR group had significantly lower rates of wound infection (OR, 0.430), wound dehiscence (OR, 0.213), wound seroma (OR, 0.602), and sepsis (OR, 0.252). A significant disparity was found in using ABR for different subgroups based on age, hospital teaching status, racial background, socioeconomic status, and hospital bed size.
conclusionThe current study showed an upward trend in the utilization of ABR and a downward trend for IBR. Although ABR had a higher rate of pulmonary, cardiovascular, vascular, and bleeding complications, it had a lower rate of wound-related complications.
