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

backgroundIn this 2-armed, randomized study we investigated the efficacy and tolerability of complex-protein-free botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A), applied in two different dilution volumes for treatment of glabellar lines. PATIENTS AND

methods40 patients with grade 2-3 glabellar lines (Facial Wrinkle Scale) received treatment with 25U BoNT/A (Xeomin). 100U of botulinum neurotoxin were diluted in 2.5 ml (group I) or 4 ml sodium chloride solution (group II). Responders showed an improvement in the wrinkle score (independent rater) of at least one point. RESULTS. Response rates two weeks after treatment were 100% / 89.5%, at 3 months 84.2% / 64.7% and at 4 months 53.3% / 61.5% (groups I / II respectively). There was no significant difference between the two dilutions.

conclusionComplex-protein-free botulinum neurotoxin type A in both dilutions effectively reduced severity of glabellar lines. There was no statistically significant difference in efficacy between the two dilutions.
