Updates on Breast Reconstruction: Surgical Techniques, Challenges, and Future Directions.
Review in World journal of oncology, 2024. 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
The increasing global incidence of breast cancer underscores the significance of breast reconstruction in enhancing patients' quality of life. Breast reconstruction primarily falls into two categories: implant-based techniques and autologous tissue transfers. In this study, we present a comprehensive review of various aspects of implant-based reconstruction, including different types of implants, surgical techniques, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. For autologous breast reconstruction, we classified flaps and optimal harvest sites and provided detailed insights into the characteristics, benefits, and potential complications associated with each flap type. In addition, this review explores the emerging role of fat grafting, which has received increasing attention in recent years. Despite advancements, there remains substantial scope for further improvements in breast reconstruction, emphasizing not only aesthetic outcomes, but also a reduction in complications and postoperative recovery. By offering a comprehensive overview of the historical evolution, current landscape, and future prospects of breast reconstruction, this review aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of breast cancer management strategies.
