Abdominal Body Contouring Can Improve The Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Single-Arm Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 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
backgroundStress urinary incontinence (SUI), acknowledged as the "social cancer," is one of the common manifestations of pelvic floor dysfunction in postpartum women with a high incidence of 18.9%. Abdominal body contouring including abdominoplasty, panniculectomy, and monsplasty has long been one of the most popular plastic surgeries restoring the body contour after pregnancy or massive weight loss. Whether abdominal body contouring can improve the SUI is controversial. This study analyzed the relevant studies to assess the effect of abdominal body contouring on SUI.
methodsA systematic search for all relevant articles up to April of 2025 was conducted in databases (PubMed, Web of science, Embase). A single-arm meta-analysis was performed and reported according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement.
resultsA total of 374 articles were retrieved. After screening, the meta-analysis included 5 articles, including 196 patients who underwent abdominal body contouring. The improvement rate of SUI in patients who underwent abdominal body contouring was 54.45%. There was no publication bias in this single-arm meta-analysis.
conclusionsAbdominal body contouring can effectively improve the SUI, and the improvement rate is 54.45%. However, this study also has limitations, further comparative cohort studies are required to achieve solid conclusion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
