Liposuction Assisted Gynecomastia Surgery With Minimal Periareolar Incision: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThis study aims to analyse the quality of studies and revisit the liposuction assisted gynecomastia surgery performed through minimal incision.
methodsA systematic review, based on the literature in the PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Cochrane, to the treatment of Simon's grade I and II gynecomastia was conducted using keywords "gynecomastia" AND "liposuction." Study appraisal was performed using MINORS to assess the methodological quality of the paper.
resultsThere were 18 out of 415 studies eligible to review. A total of 244 out of 1628 patients with the average age of 23.13 years. Liposuction facilitated the easy handling to remove the breast tissue via small incisional design; showed consistent improved quality of life in terms of satisfaction after surgery. However, the measuring method of satisfaction rate varied, resulting in difficulties to interpret the results. Complication rates were inconsistent throughout the studies, ranging from 0.06 to 26.67%. Reoperation rate of liposuction-assisted surgery is between 0.6 and 25%. There are only two studies of a total 25 patients that are considered as good in quality. The two studies, which discuss laser-assisted liposuction technique, show minor complication of seroma in two patients. While one study shows high patient's satisfaction rate; both studies indicate high surgeon's satisfaction rate.
conclusionSmall incisional design for breast parenchymal removal in gynecomastia assisted by liposuction showed a good technical approach for consistent improvement in quality of life. However, only 2 studies reported good quality methods of non-randomized case series urging for a better quality of studies in the future.
