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

Juvenile fibroadenoma (JFA) represents a distinct subtype of fibroepithelial breast lesions that predominantly affect adolescents and young women. Unilateral JFAs are a rare condition in which surgical intervention focusing on oncoplastic reconstruction may be indicated in cases of severe symptoms or significant cosmetic deformity, with careful consideration of patient age, breast development stage, and long-term outcomes. However, there is limited literature on their surgical management aimed at delivering good aesthetic results to these young women. We report a case of a 15-year-old woman who presented with a unilateral gigantic JFA causing her severe discomfort and embarrassment due to the size and asymmetry of her breasts. Mammoplasty using a modified Goldilocks technique with nipple-areolar complex preservation via an inferior-based dermal flap was performed to achieve symmetry and good aesthetic results. After a 6-month follow-up, this technique delivered a remarkable aesthetic result with high patient satisfaction. This case highlighted the importance of using current innovative surgical techniques to deliver good aesthetic results to young women with benign breast diseases, as this plays a crucial role in their psychological and physical well-being as they grow up.
