1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe cosmetic outcomes of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) have recently gained increasing attention, and surgeons are exploring the use of the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as a safe and effective method of breast reconstruction. This study evaluated the clinical progress of patients with breast cancer following the application of sheet-type ADM for breast reconstruction after BCS.

methodsThis retrospective study included 137 patients who underwent BCS using ADM at a single center between October 2019 and October 2021. During surgery, sheet-type ADM was folded and inserted into the excised defects. Complications and cancer recurrence were evaluated during surveillance follow-up until December 2023, and maintenance of the inserted ADM was quantitatively compared using volume analysis of the first and last follow-up computed tomography (CT).

resultsOf the 137 evaluated patients, 16 (11.6%) had minor complications, and 17 (12.4%) underwent biopsy during the surveillance period. One patient was diagnosed with recurrence. ADM volume was measured in 55 patients. The mean volume reduction between the first and last CT scans was 1.81 ± 2.06 cm³ (a decrease of 17.42 ± 19.82%), which was statistically significant (p < 0.001).

conclusionsThe insertion of ADM after BCS is a safe and effective method for addressing volume defects, even though a slight reduction occurs in ADM volume.
