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: Gynecomastia is defined as a benign enlargement of male breast glandular tissue. It is the most common breast condition in male, and the prevalence ranges from 32% to 72%. No standardized treatment exists for gynecomastia. Objectives: The authors treat gynecomastia patient with liposuction and complete gland excision through periareolar incision without skin excision. In case of skin redundancy, the authors use their special technique called nipple areola complex (NAC) plaster lift technique. Methods: The authors conducted the retrospective analysis of patient who underwent gynecomastia surgery between January 2020 and December 2021 at Chennai Plastic Surgery. All patients were treated with liposuction, gland excision, and NAC lifting plaster when required. The follow-up period ranges from 6 to 14 months. Results: A total of 448 patients (896 breasts) were included in our study with average age of 26.6 years. Grade II gynecomastia was most common in our study. The average BMI of the patients was 27.31 kg/m Conclusions: Gynecomastia surgery is safe and highly rewarding procedure for surgeons. Various technologies and methods like liposuction, complete gland excision, and NAC lifting plaster technique should be adopted in gynecomastia treatment to give a better patient satisfaction. Complications are common in gynecomastia surgery but easily manageable. Level of Evidence 4:
