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

We report a case of a 68-year-old female with a 6-year history of a left medial areolar sebaceous cyst, which progressed to 12.5×16.2×8 mm and resulted in a 2.0×1.5 cm defect after complete excision. A modified kite flap with an optimized length-to-width ratio (1:1.5) and Y-suturing technique was used for repair. The operation lasted 25 minutes with 1 mL blood loss. Postoperatively, the flap achieved primary healing without complications, and bilateral breast symmetry was preserved (<3 mm diameter difference). At 6-month follow-up, the patient reported 100% satisfaction. This modified technique addresses the core challenges of small areolar defect repair, offering high tissue compatibility, minimal invasiveness, and concealed scarring.
