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: High-definition (HD) liposuction is widely favored by plastic surgeons and patients for its capacity to create athletic, sculpted body contours. However, traditional HD liposuction may not effectively enhance muscle volume, resulting in a less natural appearance during motion. Objectives: To evaluate the benefits and efficacy of the Supercharged Body Contouring (S-Bc) technique, which employs endoscopic intramuscular fat grafting to augment the rectus abdominis and external oblique muscles under direct endoscopic visualization. Methods: From October 2019 and November 2024, 32 patients (30 male, 2 female) underwent abdominal deep plane liposuction with preservation of superficial fat, combined with the S-Bc technique, a novel endoscopic intramuscular fat grafting method designed to enhance abdominal muscle definition. Results: No significant complications, such as infections, pulmonary embolism, venous embolism, or fat embolism, were reported. A minor complication, mild seroma, occurred in 8 patients. Other minor issues included temporary bruising in 2 patients and slight asymmetry in one, which was addressed with a secondary fat injection at 3 months. At the 1-year follow-up, the median patient satisfaction score was 9.5 out of 10 (range: 7-10, 95% CI: 9-10). The fat injection technique for enhancing muscle appearance produced sustained results in all patients. Skin tightening evaluations showed 56.25% ( Conclusions: The S-Bc technique offers a safe and reproducible method for enhancing HD liposuction, achieving natural and dynamic abdominal contours. This case series suggests its applicability in aesthetic abdominal surgery, pending further validation in larger studies. Level of Evidence 4 Therapeutic:
