Assisted Breast Reconstruction With Biosynthetic Mesh and Implants: A Pilot Study.

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
The use of acellular dermal matrix in implant-based breast reconstruction has been associated with high complication rates. A biosynthetic mesh (GORE BIO-A) may reduce the incidence of complications while maintaining similar functional characteristics. No study has evaluated this material exclusively. This article sought to fill this gap by presenting a retrospective analysis of patients at high risk for complications (13 patients; 23 breasts), who underwent immediate implant-based breast reconstruction with GORE BIO-A. The mean age of this cohort was 41.8 years (range: 31-56 y). The mean follow-up period was 15.6 months (3-44 mo), and the mean implant volume was 383 mL (330-490 mL). Early complications occurred in 6 breasts, all managed conservatively. The Baker classification for capsular contracture showed grade I in 18 breasts. Radiotherapy affected capsular contracture (
