Dermatoporosis in Upper Limbs Treated With Polymethylmethacrylate Microspheres Using the BioSculpt® Technique.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Dermatoporosis is a syndrome of fragility or chronic cutaneous insufficiency. It presents with localized violaceous spots on the extensor face of the upper limbs of older people, with signs such as senile purpura, actinic purpura, or Bateman purpura, in addition to atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. These lesions can be painful and a source of morbidity. We report a case of an 80-year-old patient presented for the treatment of dermatoporosis in the upper limbs with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) using the BioSculpt®technique. The photographic and ultrasonographic clinical responses of the soft tissue were evaluated before and after nine months of treatment.
