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: High-definition liposculpture (HDL) has undergone significant evolution since its initial description, with the goal of achieving more natural outcomes and a muscular-defined appearance. The introduction of intramuscular fat grafting has enhanced contouring capabilities, with its applications extending to various muscle groups. Subperiosteal fat grafting efficacy and safety are well-established in facial surgery. Objectives: Describe the technique of combining ultrasound (US)-guided subperiosteal lipoinjection of the anterior superior iliac spine (bikini bridge) plus intramuscular fat grafting of the internal oblique muscles with HDL. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted across different specialized plastic surgery centers. Adult patients who underwent bikini bridge and dynamic definition liposculpture were included. All patients were informed of the innovative use of the technique and consented to participate. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to summarize the variables. Results: A total of 105 consecutive patients were included for analysis. Patients were mostly females (86.7%) plus 14 male patients (13.3%) who were in the gender reassignment process. Mean age was 34.3 years (standard deviation [SD] 8.7 years) and the median BMI was 22.9 kg/m Conclusions: The US-guided intramuscular and subperiosteal fat grafting of the abdomen is a safe and reproducible procedure, resulting in a harmonious and athletic appearance with natural-looking outcomes, high satisfaction, and a very low rate of complications.
