Myomodulation with Facial Fillers: A Comprehensive Technical Guide and Retrospective Case Series.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundPlacement of fillers in close proximity to the mimetic or sphincter muscles of the face appears to enhance or suppress muscle action in a relatively predictable way.
methodsFrom June 2016 to June 2021, patients who underwent the first author's technique of myomodulation with dermal fillers to address aesthetic concerns or to manage facial spasms or synkinesis were evaluated in a retrospective case series. Additionally, the authors provide a technical guide for a whole-face approach to treatment with fillers and a conceptual map for treatment of each facial subunit with a focus on myomodulation.
resultsA total of 1352 patients (1108 women, 244 men; mean age, 51 years) underwent at least 1 treatment session during the 5-year study period. The treatment patterns of the study population and details of 2 representative cases are presented.
conclusionsAlthough not well understood mechanistically, myomodulation with injectable fillers shows promise for significant and reliable results of facial rejuvenation.
