Fate of Fat Grafting In Vivo and In Vitro: Does the Suction-Assisted Lipectomy Device Matter?
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.
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
backgroundRecently, there has been increasing research interest in identifying the effect of liposuction procedures on fat graft survival in order to clarify whether different harvest techniques affect the quality of fat grafts.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 2 liposuction methods on the survival and regeneration potential of grafted fat tissue. The proliferation and differentiation potentials of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) isolated by both methods was also investigated.
methodsFat grafts were collected from patients who underwent liposuction procedures by 2 different methods: traditional suction-assisted liposuction (TSAL) and vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER). One portion of the lipoaspirates was implanted into the subcutaneous layer of nu mice for 4 and 12 weeks. ASCs were isolated from the other portion of the lipoaspirate and subjected to proliferation and differentiation assays.
resultsAlthough in vivo fat grafting presented similar adipose tissue survival for the 2 different liposuction methods, more angiogenesis and less fibrosis was observed in the VASER group based on histologic evaluation. Furthermore, VASER-derived ASCs presented better quality in terms of cell differentiation capacity.
conclusionsThe in vivo study confirmed better graft angiogenesis with less inflammation, apoptosis, and scar formation in the VASER group. ASCs harvested with VASER exhibited increased differentiation capacity compared with those obtained by TSAL, and represent an excellent source for fat grafting and regenerative medicine.
