The efficacy of half saline in tumescent liposuction.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Local anesthetic minimally invasive liposuction (LAMS) is a liposuction technique that uses tumescent fluid and involves connecting a syringe to a tiny blunt catheter to remove fat at low pressure. The clinical outcomes of LAMS were compared based on the type of tumescent fluid. This study aim to compare the efficacy and safety of LAMS using half saline and normal saline. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the 365mc Gangnam LAMS center from August 2023 to February 2024. A total of 147 patients who underwent LAMS for abdominal fat reduction were divided into two groups based on the type of tumescent fluid used. Clinical outcomes including changes in waist circumference were compared while adjusting various covariates. The study included 46 patients in the normal saline group and 101 patients in the half saline group. After adjusting multiple covariates, statistically significant greater reduction in waist circumference and weight change per extracted fat were observed in the half saline group compared to the normal saline group. LAMS using half saline appears to be more effective than using normal saline for reducing waist circumference and achieving greater weight loss per extracted fat.IRB approval status: (IRB No. P01-202,410-01-046).
