In Vivo Efficacy of an Injectable Human Acellular Dermal Matrix.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundHuman acellular dermal matrix (hADM) has found applications in a variety of settings, particularly in breast surgery. The most common hADM is a sheet. Recently, an injectable hADM has been introduced; we compared the biocompatibility and long-term structural integrity of, an injectable hADM and a sheet-type hADM in mice.
methodsAn injectable hADM (experimental group) and a sheet-type hADM (control group) were implanted into sub-panniculus pockets on the backs of 50 mice. The animals were sacrificed 2, 4, 8, 12, or 24 weeks later and the hADMs and surrounding tissues were recovered and stained for histopathological analyses. The microscopic endpoints included the thickness of the hADM and capsule around the hADM, and the extents of fibroblast proliferation and neovascularization.
resultsNo animal developed a complication or infection. The capsule was significantly thinner in the experimental than the control group. There were no significant differences between groups in the hADM thickness. Microscopically, the fibroblast density inside the hADM was significantly higher in the experimental group. The fibroblasts inside of the hADM lay significantly deeper in the experimental group. Similarly, the experimental group exhibited significantly deeper microvessels inside the hADM.
conclusionsThe injectable hADM had a thinner capsule thickness (more biocompatible), than the sheet-type hADM. It maintained its thickness as well as the sheet-type hADM and had a more fibroblast proliferation and neovascularization. This means the tissue incorporation and long-term structural integrity of the injectable hADM may be as good as or better than that of the sheet-type hADM.
