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

We read with great interest the article by Bruno and D'Antimi titled "Early Protein Supplementation Enhances Wound Healing and Reduces Complications Following Abdominoplasty: A Controlled Study in Non-bariatric Patients" (Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2026) [1]. The authors should be praised for doing a well-planned study on a topic that is very important in clinical practice but has not gotten enough attention in aesthetic surgery. Their results provide encouraging insights regarding the function of protein supplementation. Nonetheless, various methodological and interpretative concerns overlooked by the authors necessitate thorough examination to guarantee accurate interpretation and subsequent application.No Level Assigned This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each submission to which Evidence-Based Medicine rankings are applicable. This excludes Review Articles, Book Reviews, and manuscripts that concern Basic Science, Animal Studies, Cadaver Studies, and Experimental Studies.
