Assessing Fat Grafting in Breast Surgery: A Narrative Review of Evaluation Techniques.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
Fat grafting has gained prominence in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, necessitating accurate assessment methods for evaluating graft volume retention. This paper reviews various techniques for assessing fat and fat grafts, including their benefits and limitations. Three-dimensional (3D) scanning offers highly accurate, non-invasive volumetric assessments with minimal interference from breathing patterns. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recognized as the gold standard, providing precise volumetric evaluations and sensitivity to complications like oil cysts and necrosis. Computed tomography (CT) is useful for fat volume assessment but may overestimate retention rates. Ultrasonography presents a reliable, non-invasive method for measuring subcutaneous fat thickness. Other methods, such as digital imaging, histological analysis, and weight estimation, contribute to fat graft quantification. The integration of these methodologies is essential for advancing fat graft assessment, promoting standardized practices, and improving patient outcomes in clinical settings.
