1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As gluteal augmentation continues to gain in popularity among patients seeking aesthetic enhancements, a thorough knowledge of the postoperative complications associated with this procedure is crucial. This case report concerns a 31-year-old woman who suffered bilateral foot drop secondary to sciatic neuropathy and as a result was wheelchair-bound for several months, following gluteal autologous fat grafting in the Dominical Republic. One year later, the patient had persistent left foot drop and sensory deficits. This is a devastating but seldom reported complication that all plastic surgeons need to be aware of when performing this operation.
