Nerve Grafts in Breast Reconstruction: A Narrative Review.
Review in The breast journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Breast reconstruction post-mastectomy restores breast aesthetics and significantly enhances patients' self-confidence and psychological well-being. However, despite the effectiveness of current breast reconstruction techniques in restoring the aesthetic appearance of the breast, many patients continue to experience the loss of breast sensation following surgery, particularly the loss of nipple sensitivity, which significantly impacts postoperative quality of life. To address this issue, the use of nerve grafting techniques in breast reconstruction is increasingly being recognized and explored. This review summarizes the research progress of nerve grafting in breast reconstruction, highlighting its clinical applications, technical challenges, and future directions.
