Gynecomastia: The 4Dx technique.
Article in Indian journal of plastic surgery : official publication of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In surgery for gynecomastia, it is not sufficient to just remove the gland or do a liposuction that addresses the front of the chest only as it is not aesthetically pleasing for the patient and the surgeon alike. Most patients expect to achieve a sculpted look, which includes not only the breast area but also the surrounding areas such as the sides, the axillae, and the infraclavicular region. To tackle these areas and achieve a well-sculpted and aesthetic look, we describe the 4Dx (4 Directions) technique of liposuction for gynecomastia. It also makes the procedure more objective for plastic surgeons while allowing for individualization of the procedure.
