Comparison of Cellulite Severity Scales and Imaging Methods.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05441917 (Analysis Phototherapy and Radiofrecuency Added to a Physical Therapy Program for Treatment of Cellulite), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
Cellulite is characterized by dimpled contour alterations of the skin and is present in approximately 85% to 90% of postpubertal females. Although the pathophysiology of cellulite remains to be fully elucidated, experimental evidence indicates a multifactorial process involving the number and types of fibrous septae, microvascular dysfunction, subcutaneous inflammation, decreased dermal thickness with age, and fat deposition. Cellulite is a major cosmetic concern for many women, and a number of both noninvasive (eg, massage, cosmeceuticals, laser therapy) and minimally invasive techniques (eg, subcision, collagenase injection) have been evaluated to improve the appearance of the affected skin. However, evidence for many of these treatments is limited, largely due to the lack of a validated, convenient tool for the standardized evaluation of cellulite severity. Various imaging modalities have been employed to characterize cellulite severity and the impact of treatment, but only 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional digital photography have been adequately validated. However, in many cases, imaging findings do not correlate with subjective measures of cellulite severity. A number of cellulite rating scales have been developed; some provide only a qualitative measure, whereas others do not fully capture all clinically relevant aspects of cellulite, including the perspective of the patient. There remains an unmet need for global adoption of a validated scale that can be utilized easily by clinicians and patients in clinical and research settings. We propose features that should be included in an ideal rating scale for assessment of cellulite severity.
