New Insights Into Breast and Chest Wall Asymmetry in the Aesthetic Patient.

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: Asymmetry, a prevalent phenomenon throughout the human body, prompts this retrospective study, in which the authors aim at discerning potential patterns in its manifestation. Building upon our previous investigations in which left-sided chest wall and pelvic bone width surpassed their right-sided counterparts, a hypothesis is formulated suggesting the likelihood of the right breast being narrower and longer compared with the left. Objectives: Our objective in this study is to investigate the correlation between the left-sidedness phenomenon in the chest wall and breast shape and appearance, with the aim of understanding its potential impact on outcomes in breast aesthetic surgery. Methods: A random selection of pictures from 600 female patients undergoing various aesthetic breast procedures formed the basis of this study. Exclusion criteria involved the elimination of 254 pictures with nonstandard photography. Horizontal and vertical parameters of breasts and chest walls were measured, and the results on both sides were systematically compared to validate our hypothesis. Results: On the left side, the chest wall, the distance between the nipple and the midline, and that of the nipple and the anterior axillary line were significantly wider. Vertical measurements, including the sternal notch to the nipple, the clavicle to the nipple, and the clavicle to inferior breast distance, although longer, did not exhibit statistical significance. Conclusions: Approximately 77% of patients displayed wider breasts and chest walls on the left side. However, this observed asymmetry did not yield a statistically significant impact on the length of the breasts. Level of Evidence 3 Diagnostic:
