Outcome of Body-Contouring Procedures After Massive Weight Loss.
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 11 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
backgroundWith the increased popularity of bariatric surgery, the demand for body-contouring procedures is growing. Associated with these procedures are a number of complications due to different risk factors and patients' characteristics. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of body-contouring procedures and correlate it to possible risk factors.
methodsThe study included a collective of 112 patients who underwent 157 body-contouring procedures. Patients' characteristics, risk factors, and complications have been recorded. Three groups were formed based on the type of surgical procedure to perform correlations of BMI, weight of resected tissue, and length of hospital stay using Spearman's rank test. Correlations between patients' risk factors and complication occurrence were analyzed with Fisher's exact test.
resultsThe most common procedure patients underwent was the classic abdominoplasty (n = 53). A significant correlation was found between preoperative BMI and weight of resected tissue in abdominoplasties (rho = 0.69), Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasties (rho = 0.64), and body lifts (rho = 0.60). There was a significant correlation between weight of resected tissue and length of hospital stay (rho = 0.53) and preoperative BMI and length of hospital stay (rho = 0.4) as well. There was no significant correlation between patients' comorbidities or smoking status and the postoperative complication rate. The mean weight of resected tissue was higher in patients with than without complications requiring surgical revision.
conclusionsThe relevance of risk factors commonly believed to have an influence on postoperative complications should be revised. The weight of resected tissue has an influence on complication.
