Medial Thighplasty Improves Patient's Quality of Life After Massive Weight Loss: a Prospective Multicentric Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the impact of medial thighplasty following massive weight loss on the quality of life of patients and on their sexual life.
methodsWe performed a multicentric, prospective study on the quality of life after massive weight loss using the Short-Form 36 questionnaire, the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire, and the Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of life questionnaire. Forty-nine patients who underwent medial thighplasty were included in three centers and evaluation was made pre- and post-operatively.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 44 ± 12.5 years. The average pre-medial thighplasty body mass index was 27 ± 3.8 kg/m
conclusionsMedial thighplasty improves the quality of life of patients after massive weight loss but does not seem to modify the sexual quality of life. These results clearly indicate that this surgery should be widely offered to patients seeking reconstruction of massive weight sequelae.
