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.

2 · The registry

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

In this experimental study, we compared the outcomes between anterior-tenting and wrapping techniques in prepectoral breast reconstruction using an acellular dermal matrix (ADM). Fifteen rats were divided into control, anterior-tenting, and whole-wrapping groups, each receiving two silicone implants. In the control group, only silicone implants were placed, whereas in the anterior-tenting and whole-wrapping groups, the anterior surface of the implants and the entire implants were covered with ADM, respectively. The Animals were irradiated on one side of the back 3 weeks postoperatively and sacrificed 3 months postoperatively. The range of change in tonometry values with or without irradiation in the whole-wrapping group tended to be larger than that in the anterior-tenting group (p < 0.05). The cellular capsule was significantly thinner on the side covered by ADM (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in other microscopic features of the cellular capsule. Microscopic analysis of the ADM revealed significant increases in thickness and collagen density with radiation exposure, whereas a significant decrease was observed in the α-smooth muscle actin-positive area, CD3-positive cell counts, and F4/80 positive area (p < 0.05). In our rat model, the whole wrapping technique led to a greater increase in intraprosthetic pressure due to radiation-related structural changes in ADM, compared to the anterior-tenting technique.
