Aesthetic and Functional Outcomes of Reduction Mammoplasty for Gigantomastia: Insights from a Multidimensional Patient-Reported Analysis Using BREAST-Q.
Article in World journal of plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Breast hypertrophy significantly impairs quality of life, causing musculoskeletal pain, poor posture, and psychological distress, including reduced self-esteem. Reduction mammoplasty offers a surgical approach to mitigate these challenges. We evaluated patient satisfaction with aesthetic and functional outcomes following the procedure at a specialized referral center. Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 16 patients who underwent reduction mammoplasty for gigantomastia in the Hospital General "Dr. Manuel Gea González" Mexico City, Mexico from January 1, 2022, to July 31, 2024. Data from medical records included demographics (age, BMI), surgical indications, resected tissue weight, and BREAST-Q responses assessing satisfaction with breast appearance, surgical outcomes, and psychosocial, physical, and sexual well-being. Results: Patients had a mean age of 46.5 years, with 43.7% classified as obese. Physical discomfort was the primary surgical indication (62.5%), and 62.5% had 501-1000 g of tissue resected. High satisfaction was reported for surgical outcomes (87.5%) and physical well-being (93.7%), yet dissatisfaction was notable with breast appearance (56.2%), psychosocial well-being (100%), and sexual well-being (81.2%). Satisfaction with the surgeon was 87.5%, and with other staff, 62.5%. Conclusion: Reduction mammoplasty effectively improves physical health and surgical satisfaction; however, persistent dissatisfaction with aesthetic and psychosocial outcomes highlights the need for enhanced preoperative counseling. Tailored discussions could better align patient expectations with achievable results, improving overall care.
