Volumetric Effect of Pregnancy on a Unilateral Facial Fat Graft.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. 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
Weight gain can affect the volume of a facial fat graft, resulting in unfavorable asymmetries. Weight gain during pregnancy is more complex and does not just entail an increase in adipose tissue. This case report objectifies whether pregnancy results in volume changes of a facial fat graft. A 24-year-old woman received a fat graft (7 ml) in the mandibular area to mask a volume deficiency. This deficiency occurred after a fibula reconstruction of a mandibular defect resulting from the removal of an ameloblastoma. The patient became pregnant 3 weeks after the fat graft procedure. Standardized 3-dimensional photographs (3dMD) were available preoperatively and at 7 weeks (first trimester), 6 months (second trimester), 9 months (third trimester), and 14 months (4 months after delivery) postoperatively. Three-dimensional analysis revealed that no substantial volume changes of the fat graft occurred during pregnancy other than the overall proportional gain in facial volume. Pregnancy apparently does not affect the volume of a small unilateral fat graft applied in the facial region.
