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

purposeHyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers have been approved for various clinical indications, both cosmetic and medical. Previous studies that have assessed the performance of HA dermal fillers have primarily focused on evaluating filler durability, and only a few have studied their distribution within the tissues. The present study aimed to compare tissue integration of various types of HA dermal fillers having different clinical indications and varying injection depths.

methodsTo examine the local inflammatory response and distribution pattern of 14 HA dermal fillers (six Neuramis [NEU], one Belotero [BEL], three Juvéderm [JUV], and four Restylane [RES]), each product was injected intradermally and subcutaneously at the backs of two male miniature pigs. Histopathological evaluation and visual examination of the tissue sections were conducted 1 and 4 weeks after injection.

resultsMean inflammatory cell infiltration scores tended to be lower in response to fillers from the NEU and BEL series than to those from the JUV and RES series after intradermal and subcutaneous injection. Furthermore, the inflammatory response to fillers with higher physicochemical properties specifically designed for injection into deeper layers of the skin tended to be slightly higher than those designated for injection into more superficial layers. There was no significant difference in tissue integration according to clinical indication and injection depth, although fillers from the NEU and BEL series exhibited better tissue integration than those from the JUV and RES series.

conclusionOur findings not only suggest that the local inflammatory response and tissue integration differ across HA dermal filler products, but also that these parameters could vary according to the recommended clinical indication and injection depth of the products.
