Clinical Results of Mentor MemoryGel Xtra Breast Implants From the GLOW Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Aesthetic surgery journal, 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
backgroundMentor MemoryGel Xtra breast implants (Mentor Worldwide LLC, Irvine, CA) were designed to maintain the soft, natural feel of MemoryGel implants while increasing fullness and projection and minimizing wrinkling, rippling, and related complications through optimization of shell gel-fill.
objectivesTo measure 3-year safety and effectiveness of MemoryGel Xtra breast implants in the Mentor MemoryGel and MemoryShape Combined Cohort Clinical Study.
methodsParticipants were implanted with MemoryGel Xtra breast implants in a prospective, multicenter clinical trial. Rates of complications and reoperations were analyzed to assess device safety and BREAST-Q was employed to assess device effectiveness.
resultsTwo hundred eighty-seven females receiving MemoryGel Xtra breast implants were enrolled. Complication rates in the primary augmentation cohort included rates of 1.5% for implant-related reoperation, 2.3% for explantation, and 1.5% for Baker grade III or IV capsular contracture. For the revisional augmentation cohort, these rates were 2.8% for implant-related reoperation, 4.3% for explantation, and 3.0% for capsular contracture. For the primary reconstruction cohort, these rates were 12.0% for implant-related reoperation, 12.3% for explantation, and 7.3% for capsular contracture. For the revisional reconstruction cohort, these rates were 7.1% for capsular contracture, with zero implant-related reoperations or explantations. There were no reports of infection or implant malposition or displacement in any of these cohorts. Each cohort showed significantly improved satisfaction with breasts and psychosocial and sexual well-being at 1 year following the primary procedure.
conclusionsThese data are consistent with legacy clinical data for MemoryGel and provide the first published safety and effectiveness data regarding the use of MemoryGel Xtra breast implants for breast augmentation and reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4:
