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

backgroundHyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are popular for their minimally invasive nature and immediate aesthetic outcomes, but vascular compromise remains a significant complication. This study investigates optimized therapeutic strategies to prevent tissue necrosis following HA filler injections.

aimsTo evaluate the efficacy of two treatment regimens for managing impending nasal skin necrosis due to HA filler injections, focusing on preventing tissue necrosis and reducing complications such as pigmentation changes, scarring, and telangiectasia. PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 41 female patients (mean age: 36.2 years) treated at a single referral center between 2018 and 2023. Patients presented within 72 h after developing ischemic symptoms following HA injections for nasal augmentation. Two treatment regimens, both integrating hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), epidermal growth factor (EGF) gel, and corticosteroids, were evaluated: one using nitroglycerin (NTG) and the other using isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN).

resultsAll patients achieved complete wound healing, with no significant differences in scar formation or hypotension between the treatment groups (p > 0.05). Hyaluronidase (HSE) was administered externally at referring clinics prior to hospital admission in 31.7% of patients (without subsequent standardized HSE protocol), significantly reducing telangiectasia incidence (p < 0.05) but not affecting scarring or pigmentation (p > 0.05). Early hospital presentation (< 48 h) was associated with lower pigmentation changes (p < 0.05) but did not significantly affect scarring. Residual complications included scar formation in 9 of 41 patients (21.9%, 95% CI 12.0-36.7), telangiectasia in 16 of 41 (39.0%, 95% CI 25.7-54.3), and pigmentation changes in 22 of 41 (53.7%, 95% CI 38.7-67.9).

conclusionsCombined therapies effectively manage HA-induced vascular compromise, with early intervention critical for reducing ischemic complications and improving patient outcomes.
