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

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Partial mastectomy is an alternative to mastectomy in early-stage breast cancer to restore a poor quality of life (QOL). However, the aesthetic satisfaction with this procedure is inadequate. The standard methods for breast reconstruction have certain limitations. We developed bioabsorbable implants consisting of an outer mesh composed of poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) and an inner component filled with a collagen sponge (CS). These implants were designed to promote and sustain adipogenesis in vivo, without the addition of exogenous cells or growth factors. In this study, we used PLLA mesh implants to investigate the effects of irradiation on fat formation, which is important in partial mastectomy. Methods: The implants were inserted into both the inguinal regions of the rats. One month after the implantation, a dose of 13 Gy was delivered to the left-side implants. We compared adipose tissue formation in the non-irradiated and irradiated groups at 6 and 12 months after irradiation. Results: Irradiation of implants did not lead to malignant tumor formation. The newly formed tissues and adipose tissue were not significantly different between the two groups at 6 and 12 months after irradiation. Conclusions: PLLA mesh implants containing CS are desirable bioabsorbable implants that can be replaced with autologous adipose tissue after in vivo implantation under irradiation. These implants serve as an effective material for partial mastectomy and have the potential to improve the QOL of patients after mastectomy.
