Myomodulation using hyaluronic acid fillers as an efficient and innovative treatment for gummy smile: A case report.
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Myomodulation (MyoMo) using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be considered as a novel aesthetic treatment for gummy smile (GS). However, literature is still lacking information about this procedure. For this reason, the aim of the present case report was to describe a technique for MyoMo with HA as an efficient alternative for the management of GS. A 36-year-old male patient attended to our clinic complaining about excessive gingival exposure when smiling. After a clinical and digital assessment, poor bone support was observed in the premaxilla area, resulting in an increasing contraction of the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi and levator anguli oris. A multilayer approach with HA filling was performed in order to impair muscle movement and limit excessive lip elevation. As a result, a reduction on the elevation of the upper lip while smiling was achieved, and an improvement on GS was achieved. Thus, it can be proposed that Myomo with HA acid may be an effective treatment for GS, with lasting and satisfactory results. However, high-quality studies are required in order to compare patient's satisfaction with this treatment and any other possible alternative.
