Keller Funnel Twist-A Simple Implant Propulsion Maneuver.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 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
Breast implant insertion following the 14-point plan recommends the use of an introducer to avoid contact of the implant with the skin [1]. A commonly used device is the 'Keller Funnel' (Allergan; AbbVie Inc, North Chicago, IL) [2]. The instructions provided by the manufacturer for the use of the Keller Funnel suggests "squeezing the proximal end of the funnel behind the implant to gently guide the implant into the pocket." [2] Our addition to this recommended technique involves a 'twist' in the Keller Funnel behind the implant, stabilising the implants' position within the funnel to allow greater control of the implant and preventing retropulsion.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
