Outcomes of Mastopexy Explantation: A Consecutive Series of 841 Patients.
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
Background: The number of women seeking breast implant removal is increasing. However, there are relatively few studies that evaluate outcomes of breast implant removal and mastopexy. Objectives: This study evaluates complication and revision rates following simultaneous breast implant removal and mastopexy. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 841 consecutive patients who underwent simultaneous implant removal and mastopexy between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2024 by a single surgeon. Demographic, operative, and prior surgical variables were collected. Complication and revision outcomes were analyzed per patient. Unadjusted associations were assessed using univariate logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. All tests were 2-sided (α = .05). Results: Complications occurred in 40 patients (4.76%), with a total of 45 complication events. Revisions were performed in 39 patients (4.63%), totaling 40 revision events. In unadjusted analyses, age, BMI, implant size >395 cc, the use of mesh, subglandular plane, history of any mastopexy, history of 2 or more prior augmentations, and history of existing capsular contracture or implant rupture were not statistically significantly associated with complication or revisions. Effect sizes were modest with wide CIs (eg, complications: age per 10 years OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.82-1.50; BMI per 5 kg/m Conclusions: This study demonstrates that with careful patient selection, simultaneous breast implant removal and mastopexy can be performed safely and effectively. Care should be taken when performing this procedure in patients with a history of 2 or more mastopexy procedures as they may have an elevated risk of revision. Level of Evidence 4 Therapeutic:
