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
backgroundAutologous fat transfer in breast reconstruction has become increasingly important in breast reconstructive surgery. Although the indication to obtain fat, the various operative procedures, and the risks for the patient have been addressed in a large number of studies, detailed information on the everyday use of autologous lipotransfer in breast units in Germany is still lacking.
methodsThe objective of the study was to obtain primary data on the use of autologous lipotransfer to treat breast cancer patients in Germany and to determine measures for quality assurance in the daily practice. An online questionnaire concerning breast cancer and lipofilling was sent to specialists in gynecology and plastic surgery.
resultsTwo-thirds of the specialists who responded to the questionnaire use autologous lipotransfer for breast reconstruction and did not report an increase of local recurrence following lipotransfer. There were only small differences between gynecologists and plastic surgeons regarding the procedure and indication for lipotransfer. The method is highly accepted by patients and physicians, and both gynecologists and plastic surgeons rated the improvement achieved through lipofilling as 'high'.
conclusionsThe lack of randomized controlled data, especially in high-risk patients, demonstrates the necessity for a registry study on this topic. Our survey describes, in detail, the indications for lipofilling as well as its appropriate application in breast cancer patients in Germany and may thereby reduce the present therapeutic uncertainties.
