Temporal volume increase after reduction of masseteric hypertrophy utilizing incobotulinumtoxin type A.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundTreating the lower face with neuromodulators and targeting the masseter muscle can reduce masseteric hypertrophy but can also change the facial shape. A novel observation after the treatment of the masseter muscle with incobotulinumtoxin Type A was the increase in temporal volume.
aimObjectively assess temporal volume increase following treatment of masseteric hypertrophy using incobotulinumtoxin Type A.
methodsNine female patients with a mean age of 35.11 years ± 9.1 [Asian (11.1%) and Caucasian (88.9%)] were treated with incobotulinumtoxin Type A for masseteric hypertrophy. Masseteric prominence and temporal volume were assessed by two independent raters, and temporal fossa volume was measured via 3-dimensional volumetric imaging.
resultsIndependent of the neuromodulator injection technique (ie, single-injection versus multi-injection), a reduction in masseteric hypertrophy occurred represented by a decrease in the masseter prominence scale. In addition, the treatment resulted in a significant improvement of the temporal volume scale and an increase in the measured volume of the temporal fossa. None of the presented measurements were statistically significantly different between the two utilized injection techniques.
conclusionsThis study supports using a full-face approach when performing aesthetic treatments. Anatomical concepts can help to guide treatments: the compensatory increase in temporalis function after masseter muscle treatment resulted in an increased in temporal fossa volume. The findings presented herein should not be considered as a new concept for treating the temporal fossa but rather as an additional possibility for increasing the temporal volume.
