Risk factors for complications after reduction mammaplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
7 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
backgroundReduction mammaplasty (RM) is a commonly performed plastic surgery procedure, but various postoperative complications have been noted. This study aims to identify and quantify the association between risk factors and the occurrence of postoperative complications following RM.
methodsWe systematically reviewed PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library and Web of Science for relevant publications, extracting suspected risk factors and associated postoperative complications. Meta-analyses were then conducted to evaluate their associations.
resultsWe included 61 articles encompassing 71,149 patients. Seven suspected risk factors and eighteen complications were identified. Five risk factors were significantly associated with any complications after RM: body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of comprehensive preoperative risk assessment and individualized surgical planning to minimize postoperative complications and improve patient outcomes.
