Radial Sound (Shockwave) Therapy Resolves Delayed-onset Nodules Following Injection of Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler: A Case Study.
Article in The Journal of clinical and aesthetic dermatology, 2021. 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
Delayed-onset nodules, a potential complication of injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, can be distressing to both patient and clinician. Current treatment options, including oral corticosteroids and antibiotics, have potential side effects and may be ineffective or contraindicated in some patients. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme used to degrade HA fillers. Although it is generally effective for resolving such nodules, it can interfere with the favorable aesthetic effects of filler treatment. This report describes a novel and successful method of treating delayed-onset nodules in facial tissue. Radial sound (shockwave) therapy was used to treat multiple delayed-onset facial nodules in two patients following HA filler injection. Substantial improvement was observed in both patients after the initial 10-minute session, and all nodules resolved fully by the third or fourth treatment. There were no side effects or downtime. Patients were satisfied with the results, particularly because the aesthetic effects of the HA filler were maintained.
