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
Background: Postbariatric surgery weight loss has significant impact on physical, functional, and psychosocial components, which may negatively affect quality of life (QoL). Abdominoplasty is one of the promising procedures that may lead to positive impacts on overall QoL. Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study of 100 post bariatric surgery patients, aged 27-59 years with a body mass index of up to 30 kg/m Results: Preoperative dissatisfaction was prevalent, with only 24% of patients satisfied with general health, 32% with social relations, 26% with mobility, 11% with self-esteem, 42% with sexual life, and 45% with work performance. One-year postabdominoplasty, significant improvements emerged and satisfaction rate rose to 83% for general health, 90% for social relations, 88% for mobility, 84% for self-esteem, 92% for sexual life, and 93% for work performance (all Conclusions: Abdominoplasty markedly improved QoL in post bariatric surgery patients across all assessed domains, extending beyond cosmetic benefits to enhance physical health, psychological resilience, and social integration.
