Use of Antimicrobial Irrigation and Incidence of Capsular Contracture in Breast Augmentation and Immediate Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction.
Review 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 10 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
Capsular contracture (CC) is one of the most common complications of implant-based breast reconstruction or augmentation surgery. Common risk factors of CC include biofilm, surgical site infections, history of prior CC or fibrosis, history of radiation therapy, and implant characteristics. Though bacterial contamination of breast protheses is associated with adverse sequelae, there are not universally accepted guidelines and limited best practice recommendations for antimicrobial breast pocket irrigation. Despite advanced molecular biology, the exact mechanism of this complication is not fully understood. Interventions that decrease the rate of CC include antibiotic prophylaxis or irrigation, acellular dermal matrix, leukotriene inhibitors, surgical techniques, and others. However, there is inconsistent evidence supporting these risk factors, and the current data was based on broad heterogeneous studies. The objective of this review was to provide a summary of the current data of contributing risk factors as well as preventative and treatment measures for CC.Level of Evidence III This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
