Six-Year Prospective Outcomes of Primary Breast Augmentation With Nano Surface Implants.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMotiva Implants (Establishment Labs Holdings Inc.) are a novel family of silicone breast implants using cutting-edge technologies engineered to optimize aesthetic and safety outcomes.
objectivesThe authors sought to prospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SmoothSilk/SilkSurface Motiva Implants over long-term follow-up.
methodsSurgeons at a single plastic surgery center undertook a 10-year follow-up study of SmoothSilk/SilkSurface Motiva Implants in women who underwent primary breast augmentation. Safety was assessed through identification of complications on follow-up and through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a representative sample. Effectiveness outcomes were assessed by surgeons and patients using Likert scales and a Quality of Life tool.
resultsThis article reports the 6-year safety and effectiveness outcomes. A total of 35 patients were implanted between September and December 2010, and 71.9% of implants were placed submuscularly using inframammary incision. During the 6-year follow-up, there were no occurrences of capsular contracture, rupture, double capsules, or late seroma. MRI evaluation identified no signs of implant-related complications. Three revision surgeries were performed, all for aesthetic reasons; there were no implant replacements for medical reasons. The level of satisfaction for both patients and surgeons was high at all follow-up visits. Patient quality-of-life scores increased following breast augmentation by an average of 0.89% at 72 months.
conclusionsThe results of this prospective long-term follow-up study demonstrate the excellent safety and effectiveness of SmoothSilk/SilkSurface Motiva Implants in primary breast augmentation through 6 years of follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4:
