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

Dorsocervical fat pad (DCFP) refers to an area of fat accumulation at the back of the neck. It not only affects aesthetic appearance but brings health problems. Anatomically, it is caused either by thickening of the deep adipose tissue or dorsocervical lipoma. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces fat accumulation by removing excess fat tissue. Here we introduce liposuction technique using sharp cannula to improve DCFP. This technique was employed on 50 patients, and 89.1% of patients reported satisfaction with postoperative appearance. The incidence of adverse events was low. Liposuction using sharp cannulas was proven to be a safe, effective, and reproducible method for treating different types of DCFP.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
