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: Vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER) liposuction is an innovative technique that allows surgeons to selectively remove fat and shape desired areas of the body, resulting in more precise and controlled outcomes compared to traditional liposuction techniques. VASER liposuction offers several advantages, including targeted action that reduces trauma to the surrounding tissues, limiting pain, swelling and recovery time. Purpose: This study compared the complication rates among patients who underwent VASER liposuction in relation to their body mass index (BMI) and the amount of fat aspirated. Methods: The authors reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent VASER liposuction at Scalera Clinic in Naples, dividing them into two groups: the first with BMI < 24.9 kg/m Results: The authors examined 117 patients who were operated on within a year (2022/2023), with 48 of them having BMIs < 24.9 kg/m Conclusions: To minimise post-operative complications and maximise results, it is advisable to select patients based on their BMI assessment, the anatomy of the treated body area and the volume of fat to be removed. This approach aims to ensure that the patients are suitable for the procedure and the achieved results align with their aesthetic expectations.
