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

Objective: To evaluate the aesthetic outcomes and safety of titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TCPM) in immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) following single-axillary approach endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), and to provide references for the clinical application of synthetic meshes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 173 female patients who underwent immediate IBBR following single-axillary approach endoscopic NSM between May 2020 and June 2024. Patients were divided into a non-mesh group ( Results: All patients were successfully followed up postoperatively. The follow-up duration was 30.50 (23.24, 40.04) months in the non-mesh group and 23.95 (18.52, 32.57) months in the mesh group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( Conclusion: In immediate IBBR following single-axillary approach endoscopic NSM, omitting TCPM mesh superior aesthetic outcomes, a more natural breast texture, and a lower incidence of severe capsular contracture without increasing the risk of complications. Therefore, the routine application of TCPM in this specific surgical procedure warrants cautious consideration.
