Asymptomatic breast implant rupture detected in pregnancy: a case report and a management pathway.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
Breast implant rupture during pregnancy is rarely reported, and physiologic breast changes may obscure clinical detection. Management should prioritize maternal-fetal safety with rupture-related concerns. We report a gravida 3 woman with a 7-year-old textured silicone implant placed subpectorally in whom left intracapsular rupture was incidentally suspected during a breast ultrasound performed alongside routine antenatal assessment at 32 + 5 weeks' gestation. She remained asymptomatic, with no palpable abnormalities, inflammatory changes, or systemic signs. After multidisciplinary counseling, she was managed expectantly with scheduled clinical reviews and defined return precautions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was deferred during pregnancy because results were unlikely to change antepartum management. Postpartum MRI confirmed left implant rupture. Elective surgery and implant exchange seven months postpartum was uncomplicated. This case supports ultrasound-led, safety-netted observation until postpartum, and reinforces routine surveillance and preconception implant checks for women planning pregnancy.
