Surgical and Multidisciplinary Management of ICD Migration Into the Breast Implant Pocket.
Article in JACC. 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
clinical conditionMigration of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) generator into a subpectoral breast implant pocket is a rare complication with potential functional consequences. KEY QUESTIONS: 1) What clinical or imaging findings should raise suspicion for migration in patients with breast implants? 2) Which surgical strategies allow safe repositioning while preserving implant integrity and device function? 3) How does multidisciplinary collaboration help prevent recurrence? OUTCOME: The ICD was retrieved from the implant pocket and repositioned into a subpectoral position using native muscular borders and an antibiotic mesh reinforcement. Recovery was uncomplicated, and device function remained normal at follow-up. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: A history of breast augmentation may create an unanticipated pathway for ICD migration. Early recognition and coordinated multidisciplinary planning facilitate stable repositioning and reduce the risk of long-term device complications.
