Hybrid breast augmentation: our surgical approach and formula for preoperative assessment of fat graft volume.

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
Background: Autogenous fat grafting (AFG) is a well-known procedure utilized in addition to breast augmentation (BA) to improve breast appearance. Plastic surgeons usually estimate the ideal AFG volume relying on their personal experience based on similar previous cases: inaccurate predictions could result in incorrect evaluation of donor sites and even needless fat transfer. The purpose of this paper is to describe and prove the validity of our surgical technique and provide a simple and easy-to-use mathematical formula to assess the adequate proportion, between the volume of the implants and of the AFG, in order to obtain a natural shape and a proper volume in BA. Methods: One hundred and twenty-two patients (244 breasts) were subjected to primary/secondary hybrid BA (HBA). A formula was utilized to assess the volume of fat graft. Data about their age, body mass index (BMI), incision and implants were collected. Follow-up for analysis was fixed at less than 15 days, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months for analysis. Preoperative photographs were compared with postoperative at 12 months. Pre and postoperative Breast-Q Results: All patients received Ergonomix-style Motiva Smooth/SilkSurface with low/high projection (range, 120-225 mL, mean 170 mL) and an average AFG volume of 600 mL (range, 480-720 mL). Breast-Q Conclusions: Our surgical technique proves low complication rate and short recovery times. Our mathematical formula to calculate the AFG seems to be both predictive and a precise guide for surgical decision-making in planning the treatment of patients candidated for HBA. In fact, the analysis of Breast-Q
