Grading the sagging umbilicus. A novel classification for umbilical laxity: A prospective study in 191 patients.
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Umbilical laxity is a common aesthetic concern in male and female patients, yet it lacks a standardized classification system for its evaluation and treatment. This article presents a new four-grade classification system of umbilical laxity to assist surgical planning of body contouring surgeries. This classification considers shape, hooding, supraumbilical laxity and periumbilical wrinkles aligning with previously established aesthetic principles. Each grade corresponds to specific treatment recommendations, ranging from umbilical redesign to full abdominoplasty, depending on the severity of laxity. This classification offers a practical guide for addressing this commonly neglected aspect of body contouring.
