Pectoralis Major Muscle 3D Volumetric Reconstruction in the Tuberous Breast: Anatomical and Radiomics Differences With Potential Surgical Impact.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTuberous breast (TB) is a congenital anomaly characterized by morphological, structural, and breast region alterations. The pectoralis major muscle (PMM) is crucial for correction when placing breast implants. Alterations at this level have received little attention in the literature.
objectivesIn this study we aimed to define the anatomical characteristics of the PMM in TB patients with radiomics data extracted from MRI sequences.
methodsThe PMMs of 30 TB patients and 30 controls were analyzed by manual segmentation with 3D-Slicer v.5.4.0 software and radiomics techniques. A total of 46 features were extracted, both first-order statistical features and shape features (eg, median, mean, standard deviation, volume, area, centroid, number of voxels, flatness, roundness, elongation, principal axis length x, y, z, diameter).
resultsA statistically significant difference was found in favor of the TB group for PMM roundness; PMM elongation was greater in the TB group. Principal axes 1, 2, and 3 were analyzed in the 3 planes x, y, and z. In the TB group, principal x axis 3 was lower than in the control group. Also, between the axes, principal z axis 2 was on average higher in the TB group than in the non-TB group.
conclusionsThese results provide the first quantitative evidence of alterations affecting the PMM in TB patients. These differences were found in different planes and volumetric shape features, with potential surgical implications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4: (Therapeutic).
