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
Risk-reducing mastectomy and risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) for patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer with a BRCA gene mutation can be performed with simultaneous breast reconstruction. In this report, we present a rare case of umbilical necrosis in bilateral deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap breast reconstruction with concomitant risk-reducing mastectomy and RRSO. Both deep inferior epigastric artery flaps were elevated based on the perforators cranial to the umbilicus, which may have completely ceased the blood supply from the deep inferior epigastric arteries and caused umbilical necrosis. The supra-umbilical port was used for RRSO, which may have caused damage to the ligamentum teres hepatis, located cranial to the umbilicus. In the preoperative enhanced computed tomography, the ligamentum teres appeared to be a vein. Damage to the ligamentum teres through the supra-umbilical port might have caused umbilical necrosis due to venous congestion. Perforators and port positions might have contributed to the umbilical necrosis.
