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
introductionCosmetic breast surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at enhancing breast appearance and is increasingly popular globally. Despite this trend, the acceptance of such surgeries among Saudi women approaching menopause remains understudied. This research aims to explore the attitudes and perceptions toward cosmetic breast surgery in this demographic, considering cultural and religious influences in Saudi Arabia.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 3094 Saudi women aged 18 to 45 years, reached via an online survey distributed from March to April 2024. Data collection focused on demographics, past surgical history, and attitudes towards cosmetic surgery. Statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson's Chi-squared test to identify factors influencing the acceptance or refusal of breast cosmetic procedures.
resultsA majority (71%) of participants indicated they were unlikely to consider cosmetic breast surgery as they approach menopause, citing concerns over potential risks and religious reservations. Women with prior surgical experiences and higher educational levels showed a greater openness to these procedures. The findings suggest significant roles for physical appearance and societal pressures in shaping attitudes, though many express contentment with their natural body, aligning with cultural and religious norms favoring natural beauty.
conclusionThe study underscores a complex interplay between cultural, religious, and personal factors influencing the decision-making process regarding cosmetic breast surgery among Saudi women. As cosmetic procedures become more prevalent, understanding these factors is crucial for healthcare providers to offer culturally and ethically appropriate guidance and support. Further research is needed to explore these attitudes as women actually reach menopause, providing deeper insights into the long-term trends in perceptions of cosmetic surgery.
