1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BIA-ALCL is a subject that has dominated the world of breast implant surgery over the past 7 or 8 years. It is a controversial entity that has stoked much debate amongst the profession of plastic surgery and its associated scientific specialists. Whilst much has been learned about the disease, including its diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, there is still much debate related to aetiology and incidence. Experts remain divided on fundamental principles such as implant selection and appropriate advice to patients and expert bodies. The article is very much the authors' viewpoint based on the current literature and available data as it stands today.
