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

backgroundOnabotulinumtoxinA has been approved for multiple clinical and dermatological indications. The toxin, produced by the bacterium

objectiveThis article suggests a novel injection technique of the upper face with OnabotulinumtoxinA to obtain predictable and reproducible results with respect to eyebrow position and shape, whilst greatly minimizing the risk of adverse effects such as brow and lid ptosis. DISCUSSION: OnabotulinumtoxinA inhibits the release of acetylcholine and results in the temporary paralysis of skeletal muscle. The aesthetic outcome of wrinkle reduction typically lasts for a period of 14-16 weeks. Although relatively safe in that the toxin does not have any irreversible side effects, even a temporary untoward reaction may be seriously distressing to the cosmetic patient.

conclusionThe proposed injection technique, when diligently followed, ensures that the final eyebrow position is pleasing and symmetrical with a negligible risk of any untoward effects.
