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

Total loss of a free deep inferior epigastric perforator flap is a devastating complication in autologous breast reconstruction, particularly in low-body mass index Asian patients with limited salvage options. A reliable pedicled alternative that minimizes donor-site morbidity is therefore essential. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman who developed complete deep inferior epigastric perforator flap necrosis and was successfully salvaged using a computed tomographic angiography-guided endoscopic thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap based on the lateral thoracodorsal artery. Through a single 8-cm posterior axillary incision, the TDAP pedicle was skeletonized endoscopically with minimal muscle harvest and without gas insufflation. The flap survived completely without seroma or shoulder dysfunction, and the donor-site scar was inconspicuous at 6-month follow-up. This case demonstrates that computed tomographic angiography-guided endoscopic TDAP flap harvest without CO
