Cross-chest liposuction plus gland resection through single minimal incision for management of grade I/II gynecomastia.

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 AND
aimIn modern gynecomastia surgery, minimally invasive access and fast recovery have been advocated as essential management concepts. The present study aimed to describe the surgical details and clinical outcome of a minimally invasive approach combining cross-chest liposuction and minimal incision gland resection for management of grade I/II gynecomastia.
methodsThe present retrospective study included 30 patients with grade I/II gynecomastia. Surgery was conducted under general anesthesia with the patient placed in the supine position and arms abducted 90
resultsPostoperative complications included hematoma (3.3%) and hypopigmented scar (6.7%). Patient-reported scores for breast symmetry, nipple and areola shape, projection of the nipple-areolar complex, contour regularity and overall appearance were 4.2 ± 0.4, 4.3 ± 0.5, 4.3 ± 0.4, 4.1 ± 0.3 and 4.4 ± 0.5 respectively while surgeon-reported scores for breast symmetry, nipple and areola shape, projection of the NAC, contour regularity and overall appearance were 4.5 ± 0.5, 4.4 ± 0.5, 4.4 ± 0.5, 4.2 ± 0.4 and 4.1 ± 0.3 respectively.
conclusionsThe combination of cross-chest liposuction and gland excision through a single minimal incision at the inferolateral areolar border provides good and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes for patients with grade I/II gynecomastia.
