Brazilian Breast Sculpting: A Standardized Approach to Mastopexy Without Implants.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 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
The authors evaluated the feasibility, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of a standardized autologous protocol ("Brazilian Breast Sculpting") that integrates liposuction, Liacyr flap creation, intramuscular and subcutaneous fat grafting, a muscular sling, and an internal bra. In this prospective case series, 38 patients (mean age 44 years; BMI ≤28) underwent the 6-step protocol between January 2023 and November 2024 and completed at least 12 months of follow-up. Patient-reported outcomes were assessed at 12 months using the Brazilian Portuguese version of the BREAST-Q reduction/mastopexy module. All patients completed the standardized protocol. Postoperative morbidity was low; wound dehiscence occurred in 5 patients (13.2%) and suture extrusion in 7 (18.4%), with all cases managed conservatively. At 12 months, mean BREAST-Q scores (0-100) suggested high satisfaction, particularly for satisfaction with breasts and physical well-being (chest). These preliminary findings suggest that Brazilian Breast Sculpting is a feasible autologous approach to mastopexy without implants with favorable patient-reported outcomes and an acceptable safety profile.
