Community Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery: A Proposal.
Review in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPlastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery (PRAS) faces domain erosion from adjacent specialties and jurisdictional competition. To maintain clinical authority and address modern healthcare complexities, PRAS must evolve beyond an organ-specific, micro-scale procedural focus toward an interdisciplinary paradigm that integrates medical sciences, ethics, cultural, medicolegal frameworks and socio-economic frameworks.
objectiveTo propose Community Plastic Surgery as a formalized, population-oriented interdisciplinary subspecialty within PRAS that shifts practice from individual pathology management to a macro-scale, holistic model of societal health. PROPOSED
methodsA conceptual framework was developed by synthesizing current interdisciplinary models in PRAS (e.g., hand surgery, craniofacial surgery, oncoplastic surgery) and incorporating socio-cultural, ethics and medicolegal, economic, and managerial frameworks. The subspecialty's implementation was structured into four interconnected domains supported by Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM), Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), and Artificial Intelligence (AI): clinical practice, education and training, research and innovation, and policy and community engagement. POPULATION ORIENTED PRAS: Community Plastic Surgery bridges clinical practice with public health through accredited educational and training modules. The framework formalizes charitable surgical initiatives, optimizes equitable care accessibility, incorporates cultural competency in both reconstructive and aesthetic domains, and establishes rigorous standards for outcome assessment and socio-medical research. PARADIGM OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: Establishing Community Plastic Surgery represents a vital paradigm shift toward social responsibility and stewardship in PRAS. By institutionalizing this interdisciplinary subspecialty through standardized accreditation, PRAS expands its clinical relevance and ensures a sustainable, humanistically grounded future in global healthcare.
