Distal Internal Maxillary Artery Occlusion with Palatal Necrosis following Cheek Injection with Calcium Hydroxylapatite.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Accidental intravascular injection of cosmetic fillers resulting in dermal infarction represents one of the most feared complications in aesthetic medicine. Despite the infrequency of these injuries, the rapid rise in filler use has caused a sudden increase in the incidence of filler-induced skin necrosis. Because the complex vascular anatomy of the face subserves a wide range of cutaneous and mucosal tissues, it has been surmised that occult injuries affecting the oronasal cavities could occur as a result of accidental intravascular injection of dermal fillers. We report an instance of ischemic skin injury of the infraorbital territory of the face with hemi-palatal mucosal necrosis secondary to vascular occlusion with calcium hydroxylapatite.
