Andean Body: Plastic Surgery With a Cultural Perspective.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 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
The authors of this study propose the identification and description of the physical characteristics of the Andean body. A person with an Andean body is considered to come from the Andes and areas with higher altitude, which cross areas of Peru, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and western Venezuela. The objective of the authors of this study is to define the physical characteristics of the Andean body identified in a sample of 1500 female patients. The authors analyzed the physical characteristics of 1500 female patients from southern Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela. The altitude range in the Andes area where the patients come from is between 2060 and 6960 m above sea level. Information was collected from the 1500 patients which showed the average waist circumference measurement of 87.11 cm, the average chest measurement of 107.17 cm, the distance between the last palpable rib and the iliac crest averaged 7.8 cm, and in all cases was <10 cm, and finally, the average distance between the iliac crest and the trochanter, which we define as "high crest," was 14.3 cm. Based on the results we attained from our 1500 patients, when similar studies are performed on other non-Andean groups, comparisons can be made which could help plastic surgeons in determining the appropriate abdominal contouring procedure.
