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

backgroundStromal vascular fraction (SVF) grafting is an effective method to correct tear trough deformity. Nevertheless, the quantitative data of satisfactory rate and complications of SVF compared with normal autologous fat graft (AFG) remain unemployed. The aim of this meta-analysis was to synthesize the current quantitative data on satisfactory rate and complications of tear trough deformity correction with SVF and normal AFG.

methodsA comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library. All studies evaluating AFG or SVF in the treatment of tear through deformity were included. Then, data were extracted and analyzed using single-arm meta-analysis. The satisfactory rates and complication rates of different techniques were compared. A subgroup analysis was performed according to the specific AFG techniques used.

resultsA total of 20 literatures comprising 2372 participants were included. Five studied SVF and 15 studied other AFGs. The pooled satisfaction rate of AFG was 94.9% (95% CI 92.2-97.7%, I

conclusionSatisfaction rates for both normal AFG and SVF were generally high, with mostly minor complications observed. The incidence of complications with SVF was lower than with normal AFG, and severe complications were rare.
