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

Facial autologous fat grafting is an increasingly popular technique to restore volume and recontour the face by harvesting adipose tissue from the abdomen and thighs, and injecting it across various planes. Accessibility, biocompatibility, and stimulation of endogenous angiogenic and growth factors are thought to be major advantages to fat as a filler material. Here we report a periorbital mass, which enlarged gradually over the course of four years, in a patient with a remote history of autologous fat grafting from the abdomen to the mid face for feminization during a single procedure eight years prior. A transconjunctival approach to biopsy provided definitive diagnosis of lipogranuloma, opportunity to recontour the adjacent tissue, and a scarless outcome. We thus endorse counseling patients considering facial fat grafting on the possibility of delayed lipogranuloma formation, on the scale of years.
