Bilateral Gluteal Augmentation With Hyperdilute Calcium Hydroxylapatite Microspheres Performed Using the Bella Vida Instant Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)™.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
For decades, aesthetic medical procedures have sought to improve patient appearance, comfort, and self-confidence. In more recent years, a growing interest in body contouring cosmetic procedures has emerged, in large part due to increased transparency in procedures and improved outcomes with minimally invasive procedures. Notably, several biostimulatory fillers have emerged as a suitable treatment modality due to their relatively low cost, low pain, short downtime, high tunability, and sustained biostimulatory effect. One volumizing biostimulatory filler, Radiesse® (Merz Aesthetics, Frankfurt, Germany), consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a carboxymethyl cellulose gel. When injected, Radiesse immediately volumizes the injection site and initiates neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis. One technique, the Bella Vida Instant Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)™, is a fast, safe, and minimally invasive alternative to surgical gluteal augmentation that accomplishes morphological remodeling, increases volumization, and improves shape and patient satisfaction. This technical report provides the clinical basis, materials, and methods for implementing the Bella Vida Instant BBL™ in aesthetic practices.
