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

Gynecomastia correction often requires removal of both a glandular and fat component. Aggressive tissue removal bears the risk of causing irregularities, areolar scars, or a flat chest. Insufficient removal, on the other hand, causes recurrence. We present a new minimally invasive technique combining adequate gland removal with minimal scarring and improved contour. Our technique is based on the observation that we can make the retroareolar fibroglandular tissue extremely moldable if we first remove all the fat from between the periareolar fibrous strands. This fat removal requires a 3-mm or smaller power-assisted liposuction canula. Next, glandular resection is possible through a 7-mm incision at the base of the nipple. Combined with principles from high-definition liposculpture, superior esthetic results can be obtained.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
