Retrospective Multicenter Review of Mastopexy Using the "Mushroom" Auto-augmentation Flap Technique.

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
Background: Numerous procedures have been described to lift breast tissue and to improve aesthetic appearance of the upper pole through auto-augmentation mastopexy procedures, with a wide range of techniques. This study introduces a novel mastopexy procedure designed to optimize volume in the central and upper breast pole using a mushroom-shaped flap. Methods: This article presents a modified approach to fill the breast's upper pole using a median, deep-based pedicle flap. This is a retrospective, multicentered study, based on a series of cases conducted by the author. The perioperative management and the surgical technique are described. A systematic approach was used to identify acute and subacute complications during the postoperative follow-up period. Results: From January 2018 to December 2023, 198 women were included in the study and underwent mushroom mastopexy with or without implant and/or lipofilling. The mean age was 44.3 years (range, 18-74 y). The general complication rate was 13%, and we observed 1 hematoma that required reintervention. In 17 patients, local surgical revision was necessary due to hypertrophic scarring and nipple asymmetry. No nipple-areola complex necrosis was observed. Conclusions: Mushroom mastopexy lifts the breast while restoring maximum volume to the upper pole and can be combined with breast augmentation using implants or lipofilling. This technique is simple, reliable, and produces excellent aesthetic results with a low complication rate.
