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: This study aims to evaluate the simultaneous implant and dermal flap technique for breast reconstruction following skin-sparing total mastectomy in breast carcinoma patients, assessing both oncological and aesthetic outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 28 patients who underwent skin-sparing total mastectomy with preservation of the nipple-areola complex, followed by immediate breast reconstruction using implants and dermal flaps. Data on patient demographics, surgical outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction were collected and analyzed. Results: The study included 28 patients with an average age of 54.3 years. The implant sizes used ranged from 200 to 325 cc. Among these patients, 7 were chronic smokers and 8 had chronic diseases. A total of 22 patients underwent bilateral mastectomies, while 6 had unilateral mastectomies. Axillary lymph node dissection was performed in all cases. Preoperative radiotherapy was administered to 3 patients, and postoperative radiotherapy was given to 5 patients. Two patients experienced unilateral complete necrosis of the NAC and skin, while one patient had partial NAC necrosis. No evidence of capsular contracture, tumor recurrence, or metastasis was observed during the follow-up period. Patient satisfaction was high, with 24 out of 28 patients expressing positive outcomes. Conclusion: Simultaneous implant and dermal flap breast reconstruction after skin-sparing total mastectomy offers a viable single-session approach with optimal cosmetic results, minimal morbidity, and high patient satisfaction. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients seeking immediate reconstruction with preserved nipple-areola complex.
