Post-Operative Complications Do Not Influence Time to Adjuvant Treatment in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Implant-Based Reconstructions: Pre-Pectoral Versus Sub-Pectoral.
Article in Cancers, 2025. 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
backgroundImmediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy has progressively shifted toward less invasive approaches. The pre-pectoral approach, avoiding muscle dissection, may reduce post-operative pain, surgical trauma, and recovery time. However, concerns regarding surgical complications and their potential impact on the timing of adjuvant treatments still persist.
methodsA retrospective monocentric study was conducted, including all patients who underwent mastectomy with implant-based breast reconstruction at the Breast Unit of Policlinico Tor Vergata in Rome between January 2014 and March 2024. Patients were classified according to the reconstructive technique as either pre-pectoral or sub-pectoral. Demographic, oncologic, and surgical data were collected and analyzed, with a particular focus on post-operative complications and the timing of adjuvant treatment initiation.
resultsOf 622 patients, 366 (58.9%) underwent sub-pectoral reconstruction and 235 (37.7%) pre-pectoral. Overall, the complication rates were comparable between the two reconstructions (23.8% vs. 20.2%,
