Implant-based Cryopreserved Autologous Free Nipple Grafting for Breast Reconstruction: The ICEBERG Technique.

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
Nipple creation is generally the final step of breast reconstruction. However, patients many times forego this procedure due to reconstructive fatigue. Herein, we describe a technique of harvesting the nipple-areola complex as a full-thickness skin graft during the initial mastectomy with direct-to-implant reconstruction, storing the harvested nipple tissue at -80°C, and then placing the nipple as a skin graft 2 weeks after the initial mastectomy. This method, termed the implant-based cryopreserved autologous free nipple grafting for breast reconstruction technique, serves as a feasible and shorter alternative to traditional procedures. The implant-based cryopreserved autologous free nipple grafting for breast reconstruction technique can, therefore, reduce the longevity of the reconstructive journey for patients.
