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

Body contouring post massive weight loss is becoming increasingly more common. In this article and accompanying video, 2 experienced surgeons, Jeffrey Kenkel, MD, and Al Aly, MD, discuss the upper body lift procedure through a moderated discussion. The goal of this article is to elucidate the similarities and differences between the surgeons' guiding principles and specific approaches to this procedure. Topics covered in this discussion include indications, intraoperative sequencing, male chest, brachioplasty, closing technique, postoperative complications, and the typical postoperative course.
