Long-term Complications of Gluteal Augmentation Using Aquafilling Filler: A Case Report.
Article in Indian journal of plastic surgery : official publication of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 interest in gluteal augmentation using minimally invasive techniques has been increasing rapidly. Despite the fact that Aquafilling filler was described as biocompatible with human tissues, the number of associated complications has been rising. We present an exceptional case of a 35-year-old female patient, who suffered major long-term complications in association with Aquafilling filler injections in the gluteal region. The patient was referred to our center with signs of recurrent inflammation and severe pain focusing on the left lower extremity. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed multiple, communicating abscess formations all the way from the gluteal region to the lower leg. Therefore, an operative debridement was accomplished in the operating theater. Finally, this report emphasizes the severity of possible long-term complications when using Aquafilling filler especially in larger areas. Furthermore, the oncogenicity as well as toxicity of polyacrylamide, the core material of Aquafilling filler, remains uncertain, which is why further research is urgently required.
