Incobotulinum Toxin A with a One-year Long-lasting Effect for Trapezius Contouring and Superior Efficacy for the Treatment of Trapezius Myalgia.
Article in Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07063355 (Combined Effects of Stripping Massage Technique and Post Isometric Relaxation on Pain, ROM and Functional Movement in Patients With Trapezius Myalgia), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
Context: Based on various Botulinum toxin A products, reports of the lower efficacy of Incobotulinum toxin A compared with Onabotulinum toxin A for muscle contouring were observed. In addition, complications of trapezius myalgia and shoulder contouring treatment from malpractice have been reported. Aims: The study aimed at comparing the efficacy between Incobotulinum toxin A and Onabotulinum toxin A; research was conducted on a safe treatment technique for trapezius hypertrophy and trapezius myalgia. Materials and Methods: A split-shoulder, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed. Twenty volunteers with trapezius hypertrophy and trapezius myalgia were randomly injected with 30 units of Incobotulinum toxin A and Onabotulinum toxin A in each trapezius muscle guided by ultrasound. Results: The trapezius thickness among those receiving treatment with Onabotulinum toxin A and Incobotulinum toxin A on day 60 was 7.35 ± 1.11 and 7.33 ± 1.21 mm, respectively, which did not portray a significant difference ( Conclusions: Incobotulinum toxin A had the same efficacy but a longer lasting effect for the trapezius size contouring and a higher efficacy for trapezius myalgia treatment compared with Onabotulinum toxin A.
