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

Background: Fat grafting to enhance the common aesthetic features of the posterior torso is an evolving technique in aesthetic surgery. Dynamic definition liposculpture (HD2) with strategic intramuscular lipoinjection aims to achieve both a slim, athletic posterior torso for the female and a muscular, powerful back for the male. Objectives: The authors of this study introduce the muscular improvement and definition of back contour through key fat (MID BACK) grafting to improve the overall aesthetic definition while evaluating its efficacy and safety. Methods: The authors conducted an analytical retrospective cohort study at a single plastic surgery institution in Bogotá, Colombia, from February 2023 to July 2024. Inclusion criteria were patients undergoing HD2 liposculpture with fat grafting to the back muscles. Exclusion criteria were American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Class >II, BMI ≥30 kg/m Results: The study cohort included a total of 102 consecutive patients. Most patients were female (66.7%), with median age of 37 years (interquartile range [IQR] 10 years), and mean BMI of 24.6 kg/m Conclusions: MID BACK graft technique is safe and effective for enhancing the back's muscular definition and amending asymmetries of the spine. This study provides a foundation for future research and potential clinical applications in body contouring procedures. Level of Evidence 3 Therapeutic:
