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

A 36-year-old woman underwent resection of a borderline phyllodes tumor in the left breast in August 2016. It recurred twice and was again resected. In September 2021, it recurred for the third time. The patient underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction with a profunda-artery perforator flap from the left thigh and grafted fat from the right thigh. The postoperative course was excellent. The phyllodes tumor did not recur. The patient was highly satisfied with the appearance of the breast and both thighs. The profunda-artery perforator flap is one of the safest and most commonly used methods in breast reconstruction. However, the flap volume can be limited, and its fat distribution is unequal. Combining it with fat grafting can supplement volume and contour, including in the upper breast area. This approach can be a useful option when a larger flap volume is needed.
