1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in breast reconstruction was described for the first time in 2000s. Recently, ADMs have been used not only in reconstructive surgery but also in cosmetic breast surgery for both primary and revision indications. Therefore, the matrices represent an important support to recent surgical techniques for breast augmentation in treatment or prevention of complications. Conversely, ADMs can affect operative times, costs, and additional complications related to their placement. A review of the literature was carried out to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and indication for the use of these matrices in cosmetic breast surgery. Methods: A literature review was conducted including manuscripts published up to April 2023 on breast augmentation using ADM. PubMed and MEDLINE were the databases used for research. The keywords used were "Breast augmentation" and "Acellular Dermal Matrix." Non-English language articles have been excluded. Results: The initial search for "breast augmentation" yielded 7900 results, which were further reviewed for "Acellular Dermal Matrices" in breast augmentation, selecting 74 articles. Following further screening, 12 articles were included in the review. A total of 787 patients were treated with breast augmentation and ADM placement. The main indication was capsular contracture (60%). Conclusions: The current evidence from the published scientific literature, albeit limited, suggests the indication for the use of ADM in revision surgery, to support the prosthetic pocket, to minimize the risk of capsular contracture and its recurrence.
