Advances in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction in the Setting of Post-Mastectomy Radiotherapy.
Review in Aesthetic 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
backgroundBreast reconstruction and post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) have become integral components of comprehensive breast cancer management. The coordination of radiation therapy and reconstruction must balance long-term oncologic safety with optimal aesthetic outcomes.
objectiveThis narrative review aims to evaluate and synthesize the latest advancements in the integration of implant-based breast reconstruction and radiotherapy. Specifically, it seeks to clarify the impact of reconstructive timing, material selection, anatomical placement, and advanced radiation techniques on clinical outcomes. The primary endpoint was defined as the incidence of treatment-related complications, and secondary endpoints included long-term aesthetic outcomes and oncologic safety.
methodsWe systematically screened and synthesized the existing literature by searching core databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. RESULTS AND
conclusionCurrently, the integration of implant-based breast reconstruction with radiotherapy remains an active area of investigation, with consensus lacking on many key aspects. The integration of implant-based reconstruction and radiotherapy necessitates multidisciplinary collaboration to develop individualized treatment strategies. Future prospective studies are warranted to optimize clinical pathways.
