Adipose Tissue Transfer in Dynamic Definition Liposculpture-PART I. Back: Latissimus Dorsi and Trapezius Muscles.

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
The aesthetics for the male posterior torso remain a topic not fully studied in body contouring surgery, neither the lipoinjection of its muscles have been considered before. As a result, we carried out a retrospective cohort study including patients who underwent fat grafting of either the trapezius or the latissimus dorsi muscles as part of dynamic definition liposculpture (HD2). Methods: We performed cadaveric dissections to support the fat grafting technique for both the trapezius and the latissimus dorsi muscles. We also searched our records for patients who underwent fat grafting of these muscles in addition to HD2 from January 2016 to November 2021 at a single center in Bogotá, Colombia. Results: Thirty-five consecutive patients met the inclusion criteria. In total, 22 (63%) and 7 (20%) of 35 underwent fat grafting at the trapezius and the latissimus dorsi muscles alone, respectively, and 6 out of 35 (17%) of both. Mean age is 39 years (range = 22-63). All patients were men. No complications were recorded related to fat grafting. Almost all patients were satisfied with the procedure (97%). Follow-up period ranged from 2 to 48 months. Conclusions: Liposuction might not be enough to achieve the ideal V-shape of the men's back in some cases; hence, fat grafting of the power muscles becomes the best option. Recognition of the main neurovascular pedicle, proper preoperative markings, and a correct surgical technique ensure both the safety and the reproducibility of the technique.
