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: Minimally invasive breast surgery (MIBS) via an extramammary approach offers an alternative to conventional open lumpectomy, eliminating breast scarring and improving psychological outcomes in patients with benign breast lesions. While endoscopic MIBS (EMIBS) has been described, data on robotic MIBS (RMIBS) are sparse. We analyzed the clinical and cosmetic outcomes of EMIBS and RMIBS. Materials and Methods: Eighty patients undergoing MIBS for benign breast lumps were divided into endoscopic ( Results: Groups were comparable in age ( Conclusion: We demonstrate the feasibility and safety of both approaches for benign breast lesions, with comparable and favorable cosmetic outcomes, and with the robotic platform offering subjective improvement in ergonomic strain, especially in difficult-to-access medial quadrants. These findings are hypothesis-generating and require validation using instruments such as NASA-TLX or the Borg CR-10 scale in larger studies.
