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

Obesity is the most common unhealthy characteristic; it not only makes people feel troubled about their appearance but also causes many diseases that threaten people's health and lives. Liposuction is a widely promoted plastic surgery technique for removing excess fat from people with obesity. Typically, liposuction involves the application of vibration to break fat cells and, thus, can cause harm to the body. This paper describes a theoretical proposal for the use of a selected-frequency terahertz laser as a new physical approach for quickly removing fat by melting. Tricaprin, a medium-chain triglyceride, was examined in a case study that involved first-principles density functional theory calculations, together with infrared absorption and Raman scattering experiments. The vibrational mode of the highest infrared absorption peak of tricaprin (1763 cm
