Picture Perfect: Standardizing and Safekeeping Clinical Photography in Plastic Surgery.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Plastic surgery relies heavily on clinical photography to document preoperative and postoperative changes, visualize surgical approaches, and evaluate outcomes. However, the contemporary landscape of plastic surgery photography faces challenges, including a lapse in standards due to the prevalence of smartphones, social media platforms, and security concerns related to data storage and cyberattacks. In this comprehensive review, the authors aim to provide plastic surgeons with practical guidelines for achieving standardized, high-quality clinical photography while navigating the evolving landscape of technology, security, and ethical considerations. We explore the security challenges associated with storing clinical photographs, emphasizing the legal obligations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). We also discuss various storage options, including HIPAA-compliant cloud services, electronic medical records, and emerging technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence.
