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

backgroundThe increasing requests for enhancement of labia majora during body outline reshaping surgical procedures have garnered special attention. This study focuses on the complications associated with such combined procedures and introduces the thigh-to-labium adipo-fascial flap technique. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe flaccidity of the labia majora was addressed with autologous fat grafts in 26 patients during abdominoplasty and with adipo-fascial flap from the medial thigh in two patients during thigh lift. The procedure was performed concurrently with mons tacking in ten cases and with edge labiaplasty in four cases. Additionally; a concomitant mammoplasty was performed in 18 cases. Technical details and complications are presented.

resultsThe follow-up period for 16 patients ranged from two months to several years. Six patients experienced complications: three (10.7%) related to the tummy tuck, two (8%) to the labial fat grafting, and one the thigh-to-labium flaps. A life-threatening respiratory event in one case was due to excessively tight placation of abdominal wall. A contact burn of the insensate distal abdominal flap was reported in one case. Recurrence of mons ptosis required re-tacking in another. Resorption of over half the volume of the grafted fat necessitated revision in two patients. A labium majus lost prominence in the early postoperative days due to regression of its filling flap from forced evacuative squeezing manipulations of a developed hematoma.

conclusionsCombining labia majora lipofilling genital and body contouring surgeries may lead to serious complications. Labial fat grafts may experience resorption, while the thigh-to-labium adipo-fascial flap can durably maintain the achieved fullness.
