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: Fat grafting after breast prostheses removal has been performed widely for the breast augmentation. However, the postoperative complications and clinical safety of these two procedures are still widely concerned. Here, the authors presented two clinical cases of the complications of autologous fat grafting after breast prostheses removal.Methods: two patients visited our outpatient department, the one of them consulted for a 10-day history of fever and swelling of the left breast, the another consulted for the immovable mass in the left breast. Both of them received the surgery of bilateral breast prostheses removal there years ago and received the surgery of autologous fat grafting to the breasts in the year interval between surgeries. Based on the patient's history, physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, the fibro-oil cysts and fibrocystic mass formation were observed in patient A and patient B, respectively. Results: Incision and drainage were performed immediately with the patients. In one patient, a delineated capsular sac was revealed upon dissecting the pectoralis major during intraoperative exploration. Within this sac, a substantial quantity of grey-yellow fibro-oil cysts containing yellow. In another patient, upon dissecting the capsular sac, a fibrocystic mass containing necrotic adipose tissue was observed. Histopathological analysis of the fibro-oil cysts and the fibrocystic mass revealed that the surrounding envelope consisted of fibrous cystic parietal tissue enclosing pale and mildly lipid necrotic tissue. Conclusion: These results indicated that the main reason for the occurrence of these complications might be grafting fat into the remaining capsular sac. In a word, while performing the procedure of breast prosthesis removal, it is imperative to thoroughly excise the capsular sac to prevent the creation of residual capsular sac; Autologous fat should be inserted in multiple directions and correct layers. Prior to surgery, thorough preoperative positioning examinations should be conducted to avert the inadvertent injection of autologous fat.
