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

backgroundA hyaluronic acid filler is a viscoelastic substance that can be evaluated by rheology. Rheological properties are important for the longevity of the filler, which can be deformed due to the various forces that exist on the face. This study aimed to evaluate the maintenance of the lifting capacity of hyaluronic acid filler injection.

methodsRheological evaluation of five different products was performed on nine patients who had undergone hyaluronic acid filler injection from Jan 18, 2021 to Jan 27, 2022. Photographs from different time points up to 1 year after filler injection were used to determine the maintenance of the lifting effect of the filler injection.

resultsAfter 1 year of follow-up, the filler on the forehead, temple area, nose, chin, nasojugal fold, and mid-cheek groove areas showed good maintenance, while the nasolabial fold slightly improved.

conclusionsAppropriate rheological parameters of hyaluronic acid fillers should be considered before injection into different facial areas. A good choice of filler can result in a good aesthetic effect 1 year after injection. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
