Association of Body Dysmorphic Disorder with Leptin Levels in Patients with Normal Weight Undergoing Liposuction: A Matched Case Study.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLiposuction is the most common aesthetic surgical procedure performed globally. Some of the patients with normal weight who seek liposuction may suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Leptin, which is mainly produced by adipose tissue, may be associated with this condition. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of BDD and leptin levels in patients with normal weight seeking liposuction.
methodsThirty-two nonobese women who sought liposuction were matched with 32 healthy volunteers by age and body mass index. Blood biochemistry, leptin levels, and BDD-Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (BDD-YBOCS) questionnaires were evaluated and compared between the groups.
resultsPatients who underwent liposuction had significantly higher median (interquartile range) of total BDD-YBOCS scores than healthy volunteers [25 (22-27) versus 12 (8-20);
conclusionsPatients who underwent liposuction had a significantly higher total score of BDD-YBOCS than healthy volunteers matched by sex, age, and body mass index. Subjects with higher BDD-YBOCS scores had significantly lower serum leptin levels.
