Multicenter Pivotal Study Demonstrates Safety and Efficacy of a New Cellulite Procedure: 3-Month Results.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCellulite is an aesthetic condition affecting the appearance of skin in certain body regions and is associated with body dissatisfaction, psychosocial stress, and decreased quality of life. Previous studies established the safety and feasibility of a novel, minimally invasive device to identify and release septa responsible for cellulite depressions: targeted verifiable subcision (TVS).
objectivesThe objective of this single-arm, open-label, multicenter study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TVS for reducing the appearance of moderate to severe cellulite in adult women.
methodsAdult women aged 21 to 55 years and a BMI < 30 kg/m2 with moderate or severe cellulite on the buttocks and/or thighs were eligible to enroll at 9 sites. Endpoint data included results from 4 of the postprocedural follow-up visits at 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days. The primary endpoints were a mean ≥1 point reduction in the Cellulite Severity Scale at 90 days and no related serious adverse events at 30 days.
resultsSeventy-four female participants with a mean BMI of 24.8 ± 2.7 and age of 41.4 ± 7.4 years received this single procedure. The mean improvement in Cellulite Severity Scale (N = 68) was 1.5 ± 0.9 (P < 0.0001). There were no device-related serious adverse events at 30 days.
conclusionsTVS for selectively identifying and verifiably releasing septa responsible for cellulite depressions is an effective and safe means to improve the appearance of moderate to severe cellulite in adult women. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2:
