Preoperative Markings and Incisions in Body Contouring Surgery.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2025. 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
Background: The number of patients with obesity is rising, along with the desire for bariatric and postbariatric surgery. Applying a single surgical technique to all patients is challenging due to the body deformities that result from massive weight loss and the variety in body shape. Methods: Due to the large number of postbariatric patients who wish to have body contouring surgery, the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven has been perfecting its techniques for years. Results: This article describes standardized preoperative markings and techniques of the fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, lower body lift, inner thigh lift, and brachioplasty. Conclusions: This article offers an overview of standardized techniques for body contouring surgery. These techniques save time and help to teach residents and colleagues.
