Lipoabdominoplasty and the leptin hormone.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundObesity contributes to a chronic disease with lethal complications. Leptin as an adiponectin interacts with fat metabolism. Surgical extra fat resection is an interventional approach to control obesity. We aimed to evaluate how body contouring surgery would influence on leptin plasma level.
methodsFemales candidate for body contouring surgery were allocated in to two groups included abdominal wall liposuction alone and in combination with abdominoplasty from 2018 to 2020. Demographic data was registered. Serum plasma level of leptin with the ELISA method was measured on the day before the operation and also after 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery with 8 h fasting prior to blood sampling. Finally the amounts of resected fat, type of surgical approach, and plasma level of leptin were analyzed.
resultsTotal 124 females with mean age of 37 ± 10.1 years underwent abdominal wall liposuction (58%) and liposuction + abdominoplasty (42%) respectively. Mean weight and BMI significantly decreased postoperatively for both groups (p < 0.01). Although in both groups leptin concentration was higher in all triple blood sampling following operation in compared to preoperative measurement, changes were not significantly considerable (p = 0.6). Coefficient of correlation between amounts of resected fat and plasma level of leptin was directly positive and calculated 0.4 (p = 0.03).
conclusionLeptin interacts independently from abdominal wall contouring surgery. However it could be a marker for amounts of resected fat after operation.
