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
Backgrounds: Abdominoplasty constitutes a principal aesthetic procedure in plastic surgery, with relevance for postpartum women presenting with abdominal wall laxity. Nowadays, an increasing number of patients are undergoing abdominoplasty not merely to address a protruding abdominal appearance, but to pursue a waist-to-hip ratio that approaches an athletic physique. Objective: This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of combining abdominoplasty with liposuction within this patient population. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 160 postpartum women with BMI (22.1 ± 0.7 kg/m Results: Waist circumference significantly reduced from 90.9 cm to 80.4 cm postoperatively. Complications included seroma (3 cases), umbilical wound dehiscence (3 cases), and abdominal wound dehiscence (4 cases), all managed successfully. Patient satisfaction significantly improved postoperatively. Conclusions: Combined abdominoplasty and circumferential liposuction are safe and effective for abdominal contouring, achieving significant waistline refinement and high patient satisfaction. The integrated approach addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns with an acceptable complication profile.
