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

backgroundAlthough the use of hyaluronic acid-based soft tissue fillers in the lateral facial region is known to have full-face aesthetic effects, systematic comparisons of injection techniques remain limited.

aimsTo compare the full-face effects of posterotemporal lifting alone and combined with supraperiosteal zygomatic arch injection, and to evaluate the use of images from three device types for aesthetic assessment.

methodsData from 20 female Asian patients (group A, 38.0 ± 6.29 years; group B, 41.5 ± 6.72 years) was analyzed retrospectively. Group A received single-point subcutaneous posterosuperior temporal injections, and group B additionally received supraperiosteal zygomatic arch injections. Outcomes were assessed using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and three-dimensional (3D) quantifications of volume and vector changes in the medial (maxillary and medial mandibular regions) and lateral [temporal region (superolateral face) and lateral mandibular region (inferolateral face)] face. GAIS ratings of images obtained with three device types were compared.

resultsMean local (superolateral, inferolateral, and medial face) surface volume changes were 0.46 ± 0.36, 1.16 ± 1.03, and 0.03 ± 0.55 cubic centimeter (cm

conclusionCombined temporal lifting with supraperiosteal zygomatic arch injection may achieve better facial lifting effects than simple temporal lifting performed with the same filler volume.
