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: Circumferential lower body lift is an effective procedure for treating truncal deformities following weight loss; however, it is associated with significant complication rates, particularly seroma formation. Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe a standardized 7-point (A-G) marking system and surgical approach for circumferential lower body lift with reduced undermining and preservation of the superficial fascial system (SFS) and to evaluate clinical outcomes and complication rates. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted, including 110 consecutive patients undergoing circumferential lower body lift between 2014 and 2026. Patients were stratified into bariatric vs nonbariatric and primary vs secondary procedures. Variables analyzed included age, BMI, liposuction volume, gluteal fat grafting, drain duration, and postoperative complications classified according to the Clavien-Dindo system. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables and Fisher's exact test for categorical variables, with significance set at Results: The mean BMI was 25.6 ± 2.2 kg/m Conclusions: Circumferential lower body lift with reduced undermining and preservation of the SFS may be a safe and effective technique in patients presenting with BMI <30 kg/m Level of Evidence 4 Therapeutic:
