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

Rectus diastasis repair can be approached in many different ways from robotic to open. However, a large part of the transformation a plastic surgeon can offer a patient who is seeking a diastasis repair is to combine the rectus diastasis repair with body contouring procedures. Patients with excess soft tissues, lax skin or lipodystrophy will benefit from a concomitant body contouring procedure, most commonly in some form of abdominoplasty. Minimally invasive options can be offered; however, patient selection is crucial for the optimal and expected outcome. For patients with a small amount of excess skin, liposuction or other-energy based procedures can be offered to enhance results. Patients should be properly educated on what surgery they are getting and the expected results that can be obtained.
