The Present State and Prospective Trajectory of External Breast Prosthesis (EBP): A Global Overview.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study intends to examine and describe the current and future status of the utilization of external breast prostheses (EBP) amongst global women diagnosed with breast cancer who have had a mastectomy. To avoid breast reconstruction, many women choose external breast prostheses (EBP) for varied reasons. This study included literature from ScienceDirect and PubMed to select relevant global articles from the year 2011 to the year 2023. The terms "external breast prosthesis breast cancer" were used as a search title for abstracts and keywords to source articles from both databases. Similar and related terms were used concurrently for searches conducted in ScienceDirect and PubMed. For this mixed-method review, qualitative data gave way to an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon, while the presentation of quantitative data demonstrated the tabulation of global publications on EBP. All studies focused on EBP use among post-operative women. A total of 22 journal articles were selected for this review. From the data six (6) themes were identified
