Male Pectoralis Major Muscle Augmentation with Autologous Fat Transplantation Using VASER Lipoaspirate: Evaluation with MRI.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The popularity of autologous fat grafts has increased for the reshaping, contouring, and augmentation of the male breast tissue. However, long-term maintenance of tissue viability and the ways for assessment serve as hot-spot topics in the field. This study was designed to evaluate the viability of fat grafts obtained by a vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER)-assisted lipoaspiration procedure using a magnetic resonance imaging-based approach. Methods: This is a prospective examination of 20 male patients (40 breasts) who underwent VASER-assisted liposuction and fat grafting surgery, and long-term fat graft viability was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging scans. Results: Participants had an average age of 34.85 ± 7.37 years with a mean BMI of 26.73 ± 2.63 kg/m Conclusion: VASER-assisted lipoaspiration and autologous fat grafting of the major pectoralis muscle provide a satisfactory outcome and long-term maintenance of the grafted adipose tissue.
