Case Report: Exacerbation after fat grafting in patients with active localized scleroderma.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The application of autologous fat transplantation in facial lesions of patients with localized scleroderma (LoS) has been reported in recent years. Objective: The authors report a case of worsening of active localized scleroderma after autologous fat transplantation. Methods: A man presented with neck and facial skin atrophy and pigmentation with a history of LoS. Appearing 1.5 years ago, the lesion had progressively grown in size and shape. Consent was obtained after the patient was informed of the possible surgical risks during the active phase of the disease. He underwent autologous fat grafting into the right cheek with about 30 ml Coleman fat graft. Results: Skin dyspigmentation and atrophy progressively deteriorated 1 month into therapy, with slightly increased erythema and enlargement of the lesion. Six months after the therapy, the localized scleroderma-related score worsened. Limitations: There are different factors, such as that systemic medications could affect the treatment of localized scleroderma by autologous fat transplantation. Meanwhile, considering the limitation of the 6-month follow-up period, obtaining long-term follow-up data is necessary to evaluate sustained outcomes and potential complications. Conclusion: More clinical research is needed to determine the time interval between disease inactivity and the application of any surgical procedures to avoid reactivation.
