Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery Outcomes in the Hispanic Population at a Large County Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesCompared to standard breast-conserving surgery (BCS), oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) allows for improved tumor exposure and higher volume tissue resection. OBCS also has lower rates of tumor recurrence and need for re-resection, superior cosmetic outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, and decreased postoperative breast volume, leading to lower doses of postoperative radiotherapy. Additionally, OBCS has no difference in postoperative complications or overall survival compared to BCS. While widespread use of OBCS has increased, racial disparities continue to exist in the utilization of OBCS, and there is little research investigating how race affects OBCS outcomes. To that end, our study aimed to compare outcomes between Hispanic and non-Hispanic patients undergoing OBCS at a large county hospital.
methodsA retrospective review was performed of adult patients who underwent OBCS at a county hospital in Southern California. Subjects were divided into Hispanic and non-Hispanic groups, and the primary outcomes included the need for re-excision, hematoma or seroma formation, wound infection, areolar loss, skin necrosis, and delayed wound healing.
resultsThe Hispanic group had a lower rate of delayed wound healing (p=0.022). Otherwise, there were no significant differences in demographics or outcomes between the two populations, including the need for re-excision, hematoma or seroma formation, wound infection, areolar loss, and skin necrosis.
conclusionOBCS is a valuable option when considering reconstruction for lumpectomy in Hispanic populations. The benefits of OBCS should not be understated and should be considered for all patients who are appropriate candidates.
