Helium Plasma Effect on Breast Stromal-Enriched Lipograft: A Case Report.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 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
Autologous fat transfer for large volume augmentation, reconstructive, and cosmetic purposes has become more popular due to the inherent biocompatibility, accessibility, and low cost. For volume augmentation, the retention of grafted fat is unpredictable. Several approaches to autologous fat transfer have prepared the donor fat and/or the recipient-site increase fat graft retention as well as the predictability of the retention. This study is the first clinical report on the combination of radiofrequency helium plasma pretreatment of the recipient site and a cell-assisted lipotransfer technique for enhanced fat graft retention. One patient underwent autologous breast augmentation using the stromal-enriched lipograft technique to process the fat prior to injection. Only the right breast received pretreatment using radiofrequency helium plasma after infiltration. The processed fat was injected using a droplet style injector. The patient was followed for 2 years and underwent breast MRI examinations for measurement of the graft volume. The overall fat graft survival after 12 months for the stromal-enriched lipograft was 63%, whereas the survival for the stromal-enriched lipograft in combination with radiofrequency helium plasma was 89%. The addition of biostimulatory techniques to prepare the recipient site for breast augmentation enhanced the fat graft retention. Further clinical studies using radiofrequency helium plasma are required to justify using this modality as a recipient-site preparation technique. Level of Evidence 5 Therapeutic:
