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

This is a retrospective analysis of all lipedema patients treated by tumescent liposuction at our department in the years 2007-2021: We performed 519 liposuctions in 178 patients with a mean age of 45 ± 15.5 years. By the stage of lipedema the mean age increased significantly, what underlines the concept of lipedema as a chronic progressive disorder. Three-thirds of patients reported at least one comorbidity. The most common were arterial hypertension (32.58%), obesity (24.16%), and hypothyroidism (20.79%). We removed a mean lipoaspirate volume of 4905 ± 2800 mL. A major target for treatment is pain reduction. All patients reported at least a 50% pain reduction after liposuction, while 96 achieved a pain reduction ≥ 90%. The pre-operative pain intensity (p = 0.000) and the lipedema stage (p = 0.032) exerted a significant impact on absolute pain reduction. There was no association of pain reduction to volume loss. The post-operative rate of adverse events was 2.89%. Liposuction in tumescent anesthesia is an effective and safe method to reduce both pain and volume in patients with lipedema.
