Chest Wall Reconstruction Using Titanium Mesh With Fortiva Acellular Dermal Matrix Sandwich Technique.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. 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
Malignant neoplasms of the chest wall often require radical resection, leaving large defects in which soft tissue coverage alone is inadequate. Reconstruction of these defects must provide structural support to protect thoracic viscera, to reestablish adequate respiratory function, and to achieve acceptable cosmetic outcomes. Techniques described in the literature are varied, and there is no consensus on best practices. We present 3 cases of large chest wall defects that were reconstructed by a method in which titanium mesh is sandwiched between sheets of porcine acellular dermal matrix. We find this method safe and applicable to large anterior defects.
