1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There is limited literature describing the management of breast deformities secondary to neurofibromatosis-1. We report the management of breast asymmetry and distortion secondary to neurofibromatosis of the chest wall and spine. A 24-year-old woman presented with breast asymmetry as a result of scoliosis, chest wall asymmetry, and soft-tissue distortion secondary to neurofibromatosis-1. The right breast displayed loss of projection, effacement of the inframammary fold, and caudal displacement. Ptotic tissue on the right hemithorax immediately caudal to the breast was folded superiorly in the retromammary region, thereby lifting the breast upward, increasing projection via auto-augmentation, and simultaneously intensifying the inframammary fold. Slight overcorrection was accomplished intraoperatively in anticipation of potential relapse. No postoperative complications were encountered. At 10-month follow-up, the patient continued to show a satisfactory outcome with improved symmetry and was very pleased with the outcome.
