The Liquid Genioplasty: Different Techniques Compared.
Article 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
backgroundNon-surgical genioplasty is one of the best choices in cases of chin retrusion, and it represents a solution for the aesthetic amelioration of facial profile. Recent concerns arose about the risk of bone resorption and vascular occlusion. Different procedures and products may lead to different results. This study reports the experience of a single facial plastic surgeon (M.G.) using non-surgical techniques to fill the chin.
methodsThis retrospective study assesses 225 patients injected from January 2019 through March 2024 in private clinics in Milan (Italy), London (UK), and Dubai (UAE). Forty-five patients were injected with hyaluronic acid (Genefill DX 1x1 ml, BioScience GmbH, Dümmer, Germany), 90 underwent a lipofilling procedure, and 90 underwent a Dermgraft procedure, that is, a personalized lipofilling, modified by the main author. Half of the last 180 patients underwent shock waves before fat harvesting. Patients were followed up for 12 months, and facial angles and satisfaction data were analyzed. Three experts scored the results over time.
resultsAfter all the treatments, facial angles were corrected, but the maintenance of the results varied for the different treatments. Notably, at 3 months, the levels of satisfaction were higher for the HA filler treatment, while at 1 year, the levels of satisfaction were very high for the Dermgraft.
conclusionsLiquid genioplasty is a safe technique to correct chin retrusion, with good results and high levels of patient satisfaction. The maintenance of the results varies according to the type of product injected. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
