Breast Reconstruction Morphology Evaluation Tool: Vibe Coding Empowers Clinicians as Creators.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Breast reconstruction aims to restore symmetry and improve quality of life; However, although several morphological assessment methods exist, their need for specialized software, cost, and lengthy processing time reduces their practicality in clinical settings. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled vibe coding, in which clinicians express intent in natural language, and artificial intelligence generates executable code, allowing the development of no-/low-code, clinician-driven software. Using this approach, we created the breast symmetry analyzer (BSA), an end-to-end application that standardizes 3-dimensional morphological analysis. The BSA workflow includes STL import and trimming, automated generation of a virtual chest-wall plane and mirror plane, mirroring and superimposition, vertex-level correspondence, root mean square distance calculation, conversion to a standardized 0%-100% symmetry score, and 3-dimensional color-map visualization. Feasibility was evaluated using a mannequin dataset and a clinical case of latissimus dorsi flap with immediate fat transfer. Each dataset was independently processed 3 times by 2 raters to assess intra- and interrater reproducibility. The BSA successfully produced symmetry scores (83.05% for the mannequin, 87.70% for the clinical case) and color-map visualizations, completing each analysis in less than 45 seconds. Repeated measurements demonstrated minimal variability and excellent reproducibility between raters. The BSA consolidates previously fragmented analytical steps into a single automated workflow, reducing operator dependence and enabling efficient, objective morphological assessment. Beyond this specific application, this study indicates that vibe coding may enable clinicians to translate clinical insight into functional software, potentially transforming them from passive users to active creators in medical technology development.
