Prospective study on smoking and postoperative complications in breast reconstruction surgery.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The impact of smoking on postoperative complications in 125 women undergoing breast reconstruction surgery is of interest. Hence, patients were stratified into current smokers, former smokers and non-smokers and followed for 30 days postoperatively. Current smokers had significantly higher rates of wound dehiscence, infection and flap necrosis compared to non-smokers. Former smokers showed intermediate complication rates. Thus, we show the critical need for smoking cessation strategies prior to reconstructive breast surgery.
