Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. It is linked to trial NCT06925074 (Quantified Evaluation of Noninvasive System Delivering Microwave Energy for Unwanted Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening in Asians.), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

Abstract

Editor-in-Chief has retracted the following articles from the special issue Vol. 7 No. 18 (2019): Sep 30 (Global Dermatology): (1) DNA Waves and Their Applications in Biology - Massimo Fioranelli et al. - Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (2019) - DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2019.767; (2) Recovery of Brain in Chick Embryos by Growing Second Heart and Brain - Massimo Fioranelli et al. - Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (2019) - DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2019.777; (3) A Mathematical Model for the Signal of Death and Emergence of Mind Out of Brain in Izhikevich Neuron Model - Massimo Fioranelli et al. - Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (2019) - DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2019.774; (4) A Black Hole at the Center of Earth Plays the Role of the Biggest System of Telecommunication for Connecting DNAs, Dark DNAs and Molecules of Water on 4+N- Dimensional Manifold - Massimo Fioranelli et al. - Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (2019) - DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2019.776 (5) New System Delivering Microwaves Energy for Inducing Subcutaneous Fat Reduction: In - Vivo Histological and Ultrastructural Evidence - Nicola Zerbinati et al., Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (2019) - DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2019.778. An internal investigation has raised sufficient evidence that they are not directly connected with the special issue Global Dermatology and contain inconsistent results. As such, we retract these articles from the literature and by guidelines and best editorial practices from the Committee on Publication Ethics. We apologize to our audience about this unfortunate situation.
