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

backgroundFillers have become a viable treatment option for addressing volume deficits, whether for aesthetic purposes or due to trauma or congenital deformities. While most fillers effectively maintain volume, promoting adipogenesis remains a significant challenge. This study investigated a biomaterial designed to maintain volume both in the short and long term while promoting adipose tissue formation, focusing on the biological properties of a human acellular adipose matrix (AAM) combined with crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gels.

methodsThe AAM was prepared through delipidation and decellularization and evaluated for residual fat and cells. To assess its performance, the AAM was compared with conventional collagen scaffolds for the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells(hADSCs) in vitro. An injectable AAM filler was developed by combining AAM with crosslinked HA and CMC gels for the desired rheological properties. Over 12 weeks, the AAM filler, conventional HA filler, and adipose tissue were compared in a nude mice model, assessing volume retention, cell incorporation, and adipogenesis.

resultsThe AAM showed effective fat and cell removal and promoted the viability and adipogenic differentiation of hADSCs in vitro. The AAM filler exhibited six times higher viscosity than HA filler. It also outperformed both HA filler and adipose tissue in volume retention and cell incorporation, and new adipose tissue formation.

conclusionsThese results suggest that AAM filler is a promising biomaterial for soft tissue augmentation, particularly in applications requiring volume retention and adipogenesis.
