Public Awareness of Blindness Caused by Hyaluronic Acid Injection in China: A Questionnaire Survey.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2024. 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
Background: The occurrence of blindness resulting from facial injection is a catastrophic complication that remains a significant safety concern for patients. The aim was to assess public awareness of blindness caused by hyaluronic acid injection. Methods: The Tencent questionnaire platform was used to gather self-reported demographic data, information about injection experience, and factors influencing the understanding of blindness. Additionally, we included an educational section on blindness caused by hyaluronic acid injection and evaluated the respondents' intention to undergo injections. Results: A total of 1000 respondents completed the questionnaire, 15.4% had received filler injections, and 53.7% expressed their consideration of facial filler injections. The majority of respondents (68.3%) reported being aware of the risk of blindness associated with filler injections, with professional health blogs, social media, and news serving as the primary sources of information. Furthermore, 93.4% of the respondents believed that plastic surgeons should discuss the risk of blindness with patients before injection. Conclusions: The majority of the respondents in this study were aware of the possibility of blindness resulting from filler injections. Health blogs, news outlets, and social media platforms are likely the primary channels through which the public obtains information on this topic.
