Single-port non-lipolytic endoscopic surgery via the axillary approach for the treatment of benign breast tumors has better clinical outcomes: a case control study.

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
backgroundEndoscopic surgery provides good cosmetic results while ensuring therapeutic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and cosmetic outcome of endoscopic surgery for benign breast tumors.
methodsIn total, 108 patients were enrolled and divided into endoscopic or open surgery groups based on the patients' voluntary decisions. Surgical information, complications, postoperative pain, and postoperative cosmetic scores were compared.
resultsThe endoscopic surgery group and open surgery group included 46 and 62 patients, respectively. Patients who underwent endoscopic surgery had longer operative times (p < 0.001) and postoperative hospital stays (p = 0.045), and there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (p = 0.501). The overall postoperative complication rate was 13% in the endoscopic group and 25.8% in the open group (p = 0.103). Postoperative pain scores were similar in both groups. Cosmetic scores were better in the endoscopic group (p = 0.002), especially regarding nipple shape and wound scarring.
conclusionsEndoscopic surgery is safe and effective for treating benign breast tumors and offers improved cosmetic results compared to open surgery.
