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

backgroundHigh-frequency ultrasound is commonly used for evaluating breast filling materials and can be used to diagnose adverse reactions after breast augmentation procedures.

methodsBreast ultrasound images obtained at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from January 2015 to February 2023 were analyzed and evaluated.

resultsA total of 595 patients who underwent breast augmentation procedures were included in this study: 195 patients underwent prosthetic breast augmentation; 308, autologous fat filling; 77, polyacrylamide hydrogel filling; 12, expander implantation; and 2, silicone oil filling. Ultrasound could reveal complications such as intracapsular rupture, extracapsular rupture, folding, fluid accumulation, and infection after prosthesis implantation. Ultrasound could also show pathological manifestations such as necrosis, calcification, and infection of autologous fat after autologous fat transplantation and displacement, extravasation, calcification, and infection after polyacrylamide hydrogel implantation.

conclusionsHigh-frequency ultrasound plays an important role in the identification of breast filler materials and the diagnosis of complications after breast augmentation procedures.
