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
This paper introduces a novel approach to breast reconstruction in ptotic breasts undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). The technique integrates single-stage mastopexy with a broad-based inferior dermal pedicle and immediate reconstruction, inspired by the Boston Modified Robertson technique. It addresses the concerns of nipple viability as well as postoperative aesthetics compared with conventional mastopexy techniques. The case report describes a 41-year-old woman diagnosed with left breast carcinoma who underwent a left NSM, followed by single-stage mastopexy with a broad-based inferior dermal pedicle and immediate pedicled transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap reconstruction. The approach resulted in favorable outcomes, including preserved nipple viability, high aesthetic satisfaction, and minimal complications. Advantages over traditional methods include elimination of a vertical scar component, avoidance of free nipple grafting, and precise control of the distance between the nipple-areolar complex and inframammary fold, thereby enhancing breast shape.
