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

Single-stage autologous breast reconstruction combining deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction, vascularized lymph node transfer, and abdominoplasty has emerged as a potential strategy for breast cancer-related lymphedema. A 39-year-old woman with a 12-year history of stage II breast cancer-related lymphedema underwent a single-stage procedure combining deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction, vascularized lymph node transfer, and abdominal contouring. Limb circumference decreased by 1.7-4.4 cm across 9 measurement points, with subjective symptom improvement and satisfactory breast contour restoration. This case demonstrates the feasibility of a single-stage approach that simultaneously restores breast contour, improves lymphatic function, and optimizes abdominal aesthetics.
