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 the field of aesthetic medicine there is an increasing demand for safe and effective hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers to counteract the aging process. METHODS AND

aimsWe designed a study to evaluate the safety and histological biocompatibility of Aliaxin® Global Performance, a cross-linked HA filler and Viscoderm® Skinkò E, a product composed of non-cross-linked HA and a complex including vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids and minerals injected into the skin of guinea pigs. Then, we translated our findings into the clinical setting, administering a combination of these compounds to patients seeking a facial rejuvenation procedure targeting moderate-to-severe wrinkles affecting the nasolabial folds.

resultsThe animal study showed that the two compounds did not induce any significant inflammatory reactions and increased collagen and elastic fibers in the skin. In the clinical setting, injection of Aliaxin® Global Performance, followed by Viscoderm® Skinkò E, resulted in a higher improvement in nasolabial fold hydration, trans-epidermal water loss and wrinkle aesthetic appearance, if compared with a protocol based on Aliaxin® Global Performance alone.

conclusionIn summary, we show evidence on the safety and mechanism underlying two new HA-based compounds of different cross-linkage and composition, proposing that they can be safely used in combination in patients seeking facial rejuvenation procedures with long-lasting efficacy.
