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: Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) injection has been used for breast augmentation, enjoying popularity for nearly 20 years in the late 20 Case Description: This case report describes the treatment of a patient who experienced complications due to distant migration of fillers after PAAG injection for breast augmentation. The patient had a right-sided lumboabdominal mass measured approximately 35 cm × 20 cm, with asymmetrical breasts and a significantly smaller right-side breast compared to the left-side. The patient underwent surgery to extract the breast augmentation material from the lumboabdominal wall and breasts, followed by a robot-assisted excision of the lumboabdominal wall capsule and removal of residual breast augmentation agent in breasts, and immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction. Postoperative abdominal scarring was strategically concealed in an area that can be covered by pants, and the breast incisions were hidden under the axillary regions. The patient was satisfied with the abdominal scarring and reconstructed breasts. Conclusions: Robot-assisted excision of the lumboabdominal wall capsule is a feasible technique for extensive migration of breast fillers in the future. Further follow-up is needed to determine the long-term effects.
