Operating on the Edge? Body Contouring Procedures in Patients with Body Mass Index Greater 35.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundBody contouring surgery after massive weight loss was shown to ameliorate the patient's quality of life and to enhance physical and psychological well-being. However, numerous patients are still obese when presenting for body contouring surgery, not able to lose additional weight for various reasons. Data regarding general feasibility, outcome, and postoperative complications in obese patients is rare. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome in body contouring procedures in obese patients.
methodsA retrospective chart review of 65 cases in 42 patients was performed. Patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 35 kg/m
resultsThe median BMI of all patients was 38 kg/m
conclusionA reasonable risk for complications is well known in body contouring surgery especially in obese patients. It is imperative to discuss related risks and expected results. Taking several points into account concerning the perioperative management, reduction of major complications is possible even in still obese patients, making body contouring surgery a discussible option.
