ASO Author Reflections: Enhancing Technical Reproducibility and Ergonomics in Single-Port Endoscopic Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Minimally invasive nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) continues to evolve beyond aesthetic refinement toward technical precision and reproducibility. Although robotic platforms have expanded instrument articulation and visualization, access to such systems remains variable, and pure endoscopic approaches still face ergonomic challenges and steep learning curves. Our recent multimedia article focuses on standardizing key technical steps in single-port endoscopic NSM and explores how enhanced instrument articulation within a confined operative field may support consistent surgical execution. As minimal-access breast surgery matures, the central challenge shifts from feasibility to scalability: defining reproducible techniques, transparent reporting standards, and structured training pathways that enable safe real-world dissemination. Future progress in this field will depend on not only technological innovation but also disciplined surgical methodology, thoughtful patient selection, and rigorous prospective evaluation to ensure durable oncologic and patient-centered outcomes.
