Neuromodulating the SMAS for Natural Dynamic Results.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Physicians using neuromodulators need to develop an in-depth and holistic understanding of the facial musculature as a single, large, functional structure that does not work in isolation. In this Special Topic, I review the anatomy of the continuous fibromuscular layer of the face, discuss how certain age-related indications develop as a consequence of imbalances to this unified structure, and propose considerations for neuromodulator-based interventions of the upper, mid, and lower face. I provide evidence-supported recommendations on the most optimal applications of neuromodulators to help rebalance the musculoaponeurotic layer for more natural outcomes. Through outcomes of my patients, I show how the facial mimetic muscles can be modulated with careful placement of botulinum toxin, without causing unnatural facial expressions, to achieve an expressive, well-balanced face that reflects health, vitality and happiness.
