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

Breast augmentation is a very popular cosmetic surgery-which may subsequently influence the technique and outcomes of breast reconstruction in the event of breast cancer. After mastectomy, several surgical approaches are available for this patient population. The authors of this study aim to systematically review the available methods, their associated complications, and patient satisfaction outcomes. A comprehensive search of the PubMed/MEDLINE database was conducted by structured search algorithms to identify relevant studies. Three reconstruction techniques were categorized, and related complications and outcomes were compiled into tables for analysis. A total of 11 studies on implant-based breast reconstruction met the inclusion criteria. Three main surgical techniques were identified: tissue expander-to-implant (TE; Level of Evidence 3 Therapeutic:
