BMI and Revision Surgery for Abdominoplasties: Complication Definitions Revisited Using the Clavien-Dindo Classification.

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
After body contouring surgery of the lower trunk (CSLT), the definition, rate (4%-70%), and documentation of complications vary. Objectives: We analyzed the effect of risk factors on the outcome based on the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) after CSLT surgery and polled postoperative satisfaction among patients. Methods: All patients undergoing CSLT from 2001 to 2016 were included and were classified according to the CDC for postoperative events. Statistical analysis included proportional odds logistic regression analysis. We polled patients to grade their satisfaction with the postoperative result and whether they would have the operation performed again. Results: A total of 265 patients were included: 60 (22.6%), 25 (9.4%), 28 (10.6%), and 21 (7.9%) were in CDC grades I, II, IIIa, and IIIb, respectively. A high preoperative body mass index significantly increased the odds for a postoperative event requiring revision surgery under general anesthesia (CDC grade IIIb, odds ratio 0.93, 95% confidence interval 0.89-0.97, Conclusions: Our results confirm that a high body mass index is a statistically significant risk factor for requiring major revision surgery after CSLT. Despite being a complication prone intervention, postoperative satisfaction after CSLT was ranked favorably in our sample. We recommend that the CDC be used in all surgical specialties to evaluate complications and permit future comparability of pooled data.
