Impact of Sociodemographic and Clinical Factors on Postoperative Outcomes Following Immediate Postmastectomy Autologous Breast Reconstruction.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPostmastectomy autologous reconstruction (PMAR) is an important component of comprehensive breast cancer care. Previous research has suggested the existence of sociodemographic disparities in complications after immediate PMAR. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of sociodemographic and clinical factors on immediate PMAR postoperative outcomes.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing PMAR in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Florida State Inpatient Database (2016-2021). Postmastectomy autologous reconstruction included deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP), transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM), and latissimus dorsi (LD) flaps. Primary outcomes were inpatient postoperative complications and readmissions within 30 and 90 days. Data elements were abstracted by using ICD-10 codes and comorbidities defined by using the Elixhauser classification. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed.
resultsWe identified 3537 women admitted for PMAR. 483 (13.7%) patients experienced complications 30 days postsurgery. An additional 46 patients (15%) experienced complications within 90 days. A total of 224 patients (6.3%) were readmitted within 30 days, and 368 (10.4%) were readmitted within 90 days. Patients living in smaller metropolitan areas or with four or more comorbidities had significantly increased odds of complications. Patients with Medicaid, Medicare, or two or more comorbidities were significantly more likely to experience hospital length of stay ≥7 days. Residing in smaller metropolitan areas, having two or more comorbidities, or having Medicare were associated with increased odds of 30-day and 90-day readmission.
conclusionsDisparities exist in outcomes after PMAR in patients with public insurance, residing in smaller metropolitan areas, and with multiple comorbidities. These findings should be further evaluated to assess validity and determine generalizability.
