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

Background: This study compares the arthroscopic shaver and liposuction with other established methods for treatment of adolescent gynecomastia. Methods: Surgical management was via four operative techniques: open excision, open excision/liposuction, arthroscopic shaver/liposuction, or open excision and free nipple graft. Data were collected and compared using independent Results: Patients were stratified by Rohrich grades I -II (low) (N = 47) or III -IV (high) (N = 13). The groups were similar in age ( Conclusions: These findings suggest that the arthroscopic shaver is safe and effective for treatment of both low- and high-grade gynecomastia in adolescents. The results yielded a similar incidence of complications and reoperation across surgical techniques, and the arthroscopic shaver approach demonstrated a shorter operative time compared with other techniques for high-grade gynecomastia.
