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

backgroundThe platysmal band is created by the platysma muscle, a thin superficial muscle that covers the entire neck and the lower part of the face. The platysmal band appears at the anterior and posterior borders of the muscle. To date, no definite pathophysiology has been established. Here, we observed a lack of knowledge of the anatomy of the platysma muscle using ultrasonography in this study.

methodsWe conducted a descriptive, prospective study observing the platysmal band in resting and contraction states to reveal muscle changes. Twenty-four participants (aged 23-57 years) with anterior and posterior neck bands underwent ultrasonography in resting and contracted states. Ten cadavers were studied aged 67-85 years to measure the thickness of the platysma muscle at 12 points: horizontally (medial, middle, lateral) and vertically (inferior mandibular margin, hyoid bone, cricoid cartilage, superior margin of clavicle).

resultsThe anterior and posterior borders of the platysma muscle were thicker than the middle of the platysma muscle when in a contracted state, and the muscle also had a convex shape when contracted. The thickness of the platysma muscle was not significantly different over 12 points in the resting state. During contraction, the platysma muscles contracted in the medial and lateral margins of the muscle, which was more significant in the posterior bands.

conclusionThe anterior and posterior platysmal bands are related to muscle thickness during contraction. These observations support the change in platysmal band treatment only at the anterior and posterior border of the muscle.
