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: Liposuction is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures worldwide. Although generally safe, excessive blood loss and postoperative anemia remain potential complications, particularly in large-volume cases. Current safety guidelines rely on fixed aspirate thresholds rather than individualized physiological parameters. This study aimed to develop and validate a mathematical model to predict the maximum safe fat aspirate volume based on preoperative hemoglobin and body mass index. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted between January and December 2022 at a tertiary hospital in western Mexico. Female patients aged 18 years or older undergoing primary liposuction were included. Pre- and postoperative hemoglobin levels were measured within 24 hours. The predictive model was defined as: Results: A total of 308 female patients (mean age, 32.2 ± 9.1 y) were analyzed. The mean aspirated volume was 5.17 L. Predicted and observed hemoglobin decreases showed a strong correlation ( Conclusions: This model accurately estimates postoperative hemoglobin changes and defines individualized aspirate limits, offering a simple and reliable tool to enhance perioperative safety in liposuction.
