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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background and Objective: In recent years, a strong desire for slimmer and healthier-looking bodies has grown in the population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safeness of the new technology Flat Magnetic Stimulation for buttock and abdomen remodeling in athletic subjects. Methods: A total of 49 patients (31 females and 18 males) were enrolled. Patients’ digital photos and buttocks/abdomen circumference measurements were taken to assess and monitor the effectiveness of treatment on muscle firming. The level of patient satisfaction was evaluated by a questionnaire based on a seven point Likert scale. Average scores were calculated at a 1-month follow-up (FU). Results: A significant increase in the buttocks’ mean circumference from 85.5 ± 0.7 cm to 88.5 ± 0.7 cm (p < 0.05) and in the abdomens’ mean circumference from 76.5 ± 9.19 cm to 78 ± 9.89 cm (p < 0.05) was observed 1 month after the last treatment. All subjects reported that their buttocks and abdomens felt more lift and toned. The average abdomen and buttocks satisfaction scores improve significantly at 1-month FU. Conclusions: Our data show that FMS treatment could be used as an effective mechanism for muscle toning.
