Tissue response to the use of synthetic and biological meshes in implant-based breast surgery: A histomorphological case-series of six patients.
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Despite the widespread use of mesh in implant-based breast surgery, histologic characterization of mesh-associated tissue responses remains limited. This retrospective case series examines the histologic features of 6 tissue biopsy specimens, which feature explanted mesh from 6 patients who underwent revision breast surgery. Revision procedures occurred between 4 and 36 months after initial implantation of the mesh. All tissue samples underwent objective scoring across predefined histologic categories and descriptive pathologic assessment. Evaluation of the specimens revealed immune cell infiltration predominantly composed of macrophages, an acute inflammatory response and foreign body reaction that diminished progressively over time, and organized deposition of an extracellular collagen matrix without fibrosis of the tissue at later time points. These histologic findings may be helpful considerations in the overall evaluation of mesh performance.
