Foreign Body Granuloma After Polylactic Acid Filler Injection for Penile Girth Enhancement: Three Cases Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Penile girth enhancement is achieved using a variety of fillers, including autologous fat injection, silicone, collagen, hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid (PLA), polymethylmethacrylate, and dextran. While PLA has a good filling effect due to its bio-stimulatory properties, it may cause complications in a certain percentage of cases. We describe three patients who developed granulomatous reactions at least 2 months after receiving subcutaneous injections of PLA-based fillers. In two of the three cases, surgical removal of the infiltrate was necessary due to insufficient response to conservative treatment. Histological examination revealed unspecific chronic granulomatous inflammation of soft tissues. Based on these cases, we conclude that the causes of granuloma formation and ways to prevent it still require further research. Aesthetic specialists should carefully select patients, materials, and application techniques. Patients should be informed about the possible complications of penile girth enhancement.
