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

backgroundAs the face is known for its extreme variation in vascular anatomy and the number of filler-associated complications due to intra-arterial injection is increasing, we are in need of a method to visualize anyone's individual arterial anatomy of the face in a completely harmless way.

aimsThe different medical imaging methods and a recently developed MRA protocol are reviewed.

methodsThe literature of the last twenty years-with special attention for the last five years-concerning the different medical imaging modalities of the facial arteries was reviewed.

resultsA harmless visualisation of the facial arteries is currently only possible with US or MRA. US may identify single vessels but never the complete arterial network. A combination of IR "heat enhancement" and a MRA 3D-TOF sequence might make it feasible to visualize a large number of facial arteries in a risk-free, radiation-free, contrast-free and non-invasive way.

conclusionCurrently, a new combination of IR "heat enhancement" and a MRA 3D-TOF sequence might be the only method to visualize a large number of facial arteries.
