A simple approach to prevent skin damage from heat steam in robotic breast surgery.

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
Objective: To prevent heat-steam-induced skin damage during robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction (RNSMIBR). Methods: Clinical data from 156 breast cancer patients undergoing RNSMIBR were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into three groups: no skin cooling (group A, 29 cases), gauze cooled by ice water (group B, 99 cases), and gauze with ice water combined with suction tubing (group C, 28 cases). Key parameters such as age, BMI, and cancer pathology showed no significant differences across groups (P>0.05). Intraoperative skin temperature, mastectomy duration, and complications from heat-steam-induced skin damage were recorded. Results: Groups B and C had significantly lower skin temperatures compared to group A (P<0.01). Heat-steam skin damage occurred in seven cases: five in group A and two in group B (P<0.05). One group A patient experienced severe complications, requiring implant removal. Conclusion: Cooling breast skin with ice-water-soaked gauze combined with suction tubing during RNSMIBR significantly reduces the risk of heat-steam-induced skin damage.
