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: Techniques designed to enhance body contour have significantly evolved, driven by advancements in technology that deliver highly effective results and also prioritize the safety and reliability of these procedures. Methods: A comprehensive body contouring protocol was developed using combined body liposuction, intramuscular ultrasound-guided fat grafting (UGRAFT), minimally invasive liposuction and abdominoplasty, and ultrasound-assisted rib remodeling. This protocol was tailored to each patient's needs. Following a 12-month follow-up period, a satisfaction survey assessed outcomes and patient experiences. Results: We recruited 125 patients between the ages of 27 and 39 years, who were subjected to the full-body contouring protocol between 2023 and 2024. During follow-up, no major complications occurred (thromboembolisms, infections, or death). At the end of the follow-up, a BODY-Q survey was carried out about the degree of postsurgical satisfaction. A high degree of satisfaction was observed, especially for abdominal aesthetics and laxity. Conclusions: Minimally invasive full-body remodeling is a set of surgical procedures aimed at improving body contour. In our experience, it achieved great satisfaction, is replicable, and ensured safe, improved aesthetics.
