1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Vascular occlusion events have surged in incidence due to the increased popularity of cosmetic injectables. Ostensibly, treatments that involve nonparticulate solutions, such as botulinum, have traditionally been thought to carry no risk of vaso-occlusive complications. In this article, we report the first published instance of a suspected ischemic skin injury after botulinum injection to the glabella and surmise on the potential etiological mechanisms that may underlie these rare occurrences.
