Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging: differentiating soft tissue implants and fillers used in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo evaluate the value of synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and T2 mapping in distinguishing between different types of fillers in soft tissues. MATERIALS AND
methodsEx vivo fillers of buttock soft tissues (silicone, collagen, and different types of hyaluronic acid) were scanned using a synthetic MRI sequence at 1.5 and 3 T and an optimized T2 mapping sequence to measure the T2 relaxation times of the fillers ex vivo. Three patients addressed to assess complications with buttock fillers underwent MRI with the standard morphological sequences and an additional synthetic MRI sequence; T2 mapping was not performed for the patients. Two patients had silicone fillers, whereas the exact filler composition for the third patient was unknown.
resultsMeasurements of T1 and T2 relaxation times of ex vivo fillers at 1.5 and 3 T using synthetic MRI showed that the silicone, collagen, and hyaluronic acid had distinct relaxation time characteristics. In vivo, the synthetic MRI correctly identified silicone in the two patients with known silicone fillers, showing low T1 and T2 values, whereas in the third patient with an unknown filler type, the synthetic MRI suggested a collagen filler, with intermediate relaxation time values.
conclusionQuantitative sequences have the potential to differentiate between filler types in a noninvasive fashion.
