Preliminary 3-Year Evaluation of Experience With SilkSurface and VelvetSurface Motiva Silicone Breast Implants: A Single-Center Experience With 5813 Consecutive Breast Augmentation Cases.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 43 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
backgroundSilicone breast implants have been in use for breast augmentation for more than 50 years, but technological innovation has been lacking in implant design until recently.
objectivesThis study was designed to evaluate the complication and reoperation rates following breast augmentation utilizing the Motiva silicone breast implants.
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated the safety of Motiva implants in 5813 consecutive cases of breast augmentation. Implants with two different textured surfaces were evaluated: SilkSurface (nanotextured) and VelvetSurface (micro-textured).
resultsImplants were placed between April 2013 and April 2016. A total of 44 complications were reported, with an overall complication rate of 0.76%, and the rate of reoperation was 0.76% over an interval of 3 years. There were no late complications and no cases of primary capsular contracture. No differences in complication rates were observed because of the implant date. However, among patients who received implants 300 to 499 cc in volume, complication rates were significantly lower with SilkSurface compared with VelvetSurface implants. Advanced statistical analysis supported the validity of the low complication rate reported in this study.
conclusionsOverall, these findings suggest that Motiva silicone breast implants are associated with very low rates of complication and reoperation, and that the nano-textured SilkSurface implant is associated with fewer complications than micro-textured implants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3:
