Perspectives in Plastic Surgery: View of Plastic Surgeons From Kenya.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2026. 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
Background: Plastic surgery is a fairly new discipline in Kenya; like other surgical disciplines, it has experienced years of neglect. The surgical burden of disease that can be addressed by plastic surgeons is extensive, but it requires a systematic approach to sustainably address it. Methods: The authors reviewed data on the number of plastic surgeons and their distribution across the country. The projected county populations were used to calculate the ratio of plastic surgeons to the population served. Results: With a population of 53 million and 41 plastic surgeons, 1 plastic surgeon serves 1.3 million Kenyans. However, only 16 counties have at least 1 plastic surgeon; the majority are to be found in the cities of Nairobi, Mombasa, and Eldoret; 28 million Kenyans live in counties without a plastic surgeon. Conclusions: Plastic surgery in Kenya needs international collaboration to grow. Research, training, and sustainable healthcare financing were identified as the primary drivers of equitable access to plastic surgery in Kenya.
