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

Repair of large soft tissue defects by tissue expansion often faces difficulties in skin expansion. Particularly in those who have lost a significant amount of skin and subcutaneous tissue due to total mastectomy, tissue expansion may result in skin breakdown and exposure of the expander. Subcutaneous fat construction by autologous fat grafting before expansion seems to assist skin expansion. We hypothesize that it may be related to the adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in subcutaneous fat. In this study, we confirmed this phenomenon through animal experiments and provided a preliminary investigation of the possible mechanisms involved. Four groups were designed for the experiment, experimental group (EG) for autologous fat flap transfer and tissue expansion. Fat grafting control group (FGCG), where only autologous fat flap transfer was performed without tissue expansion. Tissue expansion control group (TECG) did not perform autologous fat flap transfer but only skin tissue expansion on the back. Blank control group (BCG) has not received any surgery. In each group of 20 rats, skin, and fat flaps of the dilated area were sampled at four time points (7, 14, 21, and 28 days,
