7-step endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with implant-based breast reconstruction: nipple sensation preservation and low complications.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundSingle-port endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (E-NSM) with implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) represents a promising surgical technique. However, the surgical procedures are complex and lack standardized and systematic surgical protocols. The seven-step method was introduced as a means of simplifying the complex surgical procedures, with detailed descriptions provided of the key points and critical aspects of the surgery.
methodsThe medical records of patients who received single-port E-NSM with IBBR guided by the seven-step method from January 2022 to March 2024 were analyzed. The preliminary results were presented.
resultsA total of 65 patients were enrolled in the study, who received 93 procedures of single-port E-NSM with IBBR following the seven-step method. The mean age was 41.7 ± 8.2 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 22.81 ± 3.5 kg/m
conclusionsSingle-port E-NSM with IBBR, guided by the seven-step method, is a safe and feasibility surgical approach. It is associated with a low complication rate, good cosmetic outcomes, and reasonable preservation of nipple sensation and erectile function. This technique appears particularly suitable for patients with breast sizes of C cup or smaller. The proposed seven-step method may provide a valuable framework for clinical practice and serve as a practical reference for peers, thereby contributing to the establishment of standardized and systematic surgical protocols.
