Venous thromboembolism after aesthetic surgeries in low-risk patients without hypercoagulability.

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
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious but rare complication of aesthetic surgery, with an incidence of 0.017% for liposuction and 0.01%-0.02% for augmentation mammoplasty. Despite the low incidence and appropriate patient selection, we present two cases of VTE in low-risk patients without hypercoagulability undergoing aesthetic procedures. In the first case, a 45-year-old woman with a history of anemia developed bilateral pulmonary embolism after ultrasound-assisted liposuction. In the second case, a 33-year-old woman with a history of oral contraceptive use developed deep vein thrombosis in the right upper extremity after augmentation mammoplasty. The patients were treated early and fully recovered after 12 months. This report highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of VTE in aesthetic surgery, even in low-risk patients.
