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 has shifted from empirical practice to anatomically guided surgery. Ultrasound and adipose compression enhance safety by preserving the Scarpa fascia and tailoring techniques to each region. Methods: A retrospective cohort study included 615 patients (461 women, 154 men; aged 18-60 y) treated in Bogotá (2021-2024). Exclusion criteria included smoking, body mass index greater than 30 kg/m Results: Mean age was 35.4 years, body mass index was 24.6 kg/m Conclusions: Segmental liposuction with ultrasound and Scarpa fascia preservation provides safe contouring, low morbidity, and high satisfaction. Mastery of 3-dimensional adipose anatomy is essential for reliable, natural outcomes.
