Hybrid Implant and Grafted Fat Breast Augmentation: Designing the Pathway to a Future With Breasts Free of Silicone Breast Implants.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundFat grafting in breast augmentation surgery is becoming increasingly popular, allowing surgeons to fill the gaps that implant augmentation alone cannot. However, one of the current issues surrounding fat grafting is the lack of standardization.
objectivesThe objective of this study was to validate and summarize expert-based advice to help plastic surgeons better understand the benefits of utilizing fat grating to reduce implant size in their surgical planning.
methodsThis was a prospective study of fat grafting in 56 patients who underwent fat transfer together with silicone breast implants. A 3-dimensional planning system was used to plan the procedure and also to analyze the fat retention and resorption rates. Pictures served as a basis for a questionnaire in which both patients and physicians were asked to rate their satisfaction.
resultsPatients reported a satisfaction rate of "excellent" in 83.3% of cases and "good" in 16.7%. Physician satisfaction was rated as "excellent" in 84.5% of cases, "good" in 13.3%, and "fair" in 4.2% of cases. The mean fat volume grafted per breast was 113.63 mL. The mean absorption rate was 4.53%.
conclusionsThe procedure presented consistent and reproducible results. Hybrid breast augmentation can help design a pathway for a future with breasts free of silicone. This information is particularly relevant for women who have their first breast augmentation at an early age and will probably have 2 to 5 additional surgeries in their lifetime due to the nature of current silicone breast technology.
