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

Objective: To explore the current status and advances of tissue expansion technology in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, and to provide references for the rational selection of expander types, implant planes, and strategies for complication prevention and management in clinical practice. Methods: An extensive review was conducted on relevant literature and clinical research data, both domestic and international, from recent years regarding tissue expansion techlology for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. The focus was on summarizing the characteristics and indications of different types of expanders, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of the two implant planes, subpectoral and prepectoral, and discussing the prevention and management of common complications. Results: Tissue expanders continue to serve as a pivotal element in breast prosthesis reconstruction, with their effectiveness being subject to the influence of multiple factors, including expander type, filling medium, implant plane, and individual patient characteristics. In recent years, research endeavors have concentrated on prepectoral placement, the selection of expanders with varying surface properties, and a comparative analysis between air and saline filling techniques. Notably, different technical strategies demonstrate distinct variations in terms of postoperative pain, seroma, infection, and capsular contracture. Conclusion: Tissue expansion technology has become a cornerstone of implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Each expander type, filling method, and implant plane has its own advantages and limitations; selection should be tailored to the patient's anatomical condition, oncologic treatment plan, and individualized aesthetic requirements.
