Systematic Review of Stem Cells in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery: Clinical Application in Anti-Aging Medicine.
Review in Indian journal of plastic surgery : official publication of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, 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
Background: The application of stem cells in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery has emerged as a promising frontier in anti-aging medicine. Stem cells, particularly adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), are increasingly utilized for their regenerative properties, offering innovative solutions for a range of aesthetic and reconstructive challenges. Objective: This review explores the current and potential clinical applications of stem cells in plastic surgery, focusing on their role in grafting, facial rejuvenation, wound healing, soft tissue reconstruction, and hair restoration. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature analysis was conducted using the PRISMA algorithm, examining studies and clinical trials that evaluate the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of stem cell-based therapies in plastic surgery. Emphasis was placed on the therapeutic mechanisms of stem cells, including their ability to enhance tissue regeneration, reduce scarring, and improve graft survival. Results: Out of the 5,117 studies identified, 22 met the inclusion criteria, highlighting the diverse applications of stem cells in plastic surgery. These studies reported significant advancements in aesthetic and reconstructive outcomes. Conclusion: Stem cell therapies represent a transformative approach in plastic surgery, offering significant benefits in aesthetic enhancement and functional restoration. While current applications show promising results, ongoing research is essential to address regulatory issues, ethical considerations, and the need for standardized treatment protocols.
