Echo-guided Lower-back Sculpture and Volumization as a Complement to High-definition Liposuction (XPINE-FAT).
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: Knowledge about lower-back aesthetics is very limited, especially regarding surgical techniques that improve its appearance. Thus, this study aimed to describe a high-definition liposuction technique with intramuscular grafting of erector spinae muscles (longissimus). Methods: A total of 15 female patients 25-48 years of age were recruited between November 2021 and January 2022, who underwent body contouring surgery and subsequently underwent a low-back lipodefinition and echo-guided intramuscular erector spinae (longissimus) fat graft to complement the procedure. As part of the study, measurements were performed before surgery and in the immediate postoperative period. The data were stored in a database and analyzed with the SPSS Version 25 statistical software. Results: The patients' ages ranged from 25 to 48 years (mean: 37 years), with a body mass index of 18.6-29.3 (mean: 25.5). The surgical times ranged between 1 and 8 hours (mean: 3.73 hours); hospitalization times were 0.7-1 days (mean: 0.940 days). Lipograft was performed on the erector spinae muscles (longissimus), the right one with a range of 20-60 cm Conclusions: XPINE-FAT is a safe technique that allows an increase in the immediate intramuscular thickness of the erector spinae muscles (longissimus). We observed no adverse events during the study.
