Rhinoplasty Outcomes in Patients With Symptoms of Body Dysmorphia.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPatients with symptoms of body dysmorphia often seek consultation for aesthetic rhinoplasty. While body dysmorphic disorder is a formal psychiatric diagnosis, recent evidence indicates that patients with symptoms of this condition who seek rhinoplasty may experience increased satisfaction with their appearance following surgery.
objectivesTo determine the psychological impact of rhinoplasty in patients screened preoperatively and postoperatively with a body dysmorphia screening questionnaire.
methodsRetrospective chart review was performed of patients who underwent aesthetic and/or functional rhinoplasty by a single surgeon from June 2021 to April 2023. Adult patients with a complete preoperative and postoperative Body Dysmorphic Disorder-Aesthetic Surgery questionnaire (BDDQ-AS), Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey-Obstruction and Cosmesis (SCHNOS), and visual analog scale (VAS) were included. Patient characteristics and outcomes were analyzed, stratifying by BDDQ-AS screen.
resultsOne-hundred fifteen patients (88% female) met criteria for inclusion. There was an 83% resolution rate of BDDQ-AS positive screening following rhinoplasty. Positive BDDQ-AS screening status preoperatively and postoperatively correlated with worse aesthetic satisfaction (all P < .002). No patient-reported outcome measures were indicative of which patients with a BDDQ-AS positive screen preoperatively would experience "resolution" postoperatively.
conclusionsBody dysmorphia screening resolution following surgical intervention correlated with improved patient aesthetic satisfaction, pointing to a potential positive psychological impact of undergoing rhinoplasty. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3:
