Advances in Etiology and Prevention of Capsular Contracture After Breast Implantation.
Review in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Capsular contracture (CC) is one of the most common complications of breast implant usage in breast augmentation or reconstruction. The CC approach can cause breast hardening, pain, and varying degrees of deformity, affecting the quality of life of patients. Considerably, it has become one of the most common reasons for frequent surgeries. Nonetheless, the etiology and pathogenesis of CC remain unclear. Moreover, there exist still a lot of uncertainties regarding prevention and treatment measures. In this article, we present discussions on the research status of the etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment measures of CC. In summary, this study provides a reference for further research on CC and clinical use.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
