Long-Term Safety and Reliability of Using Tutoplast-Processed Fascia Lata to Refine the Nasal Dorsum in Primary and Revision Rhinoplasty.

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
backgroundTutoplast-processed fascia lata (TPFL) is an allograft substance employed alongside cartilaginous materials to achieve optimal augmentation in rhinoplasty. Alternatively, it can be utilized to conceal and smooth irregularities of the nasal dorsum during the procedure. Despite its application, there is limited available data on the extended safety of TPFL. Consequently, our objective was to assess the enduring long-term safety and reliability of TPFL in both primary and revision rhinoplasty.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on 300 patients who underwent primary and revision rhinoplasty with TPFL grafts. Baseline characteristics, types of surgical techniques, and surgical outcomes were evaluated. The surgical success and satisfaction rates were assessed as primary outcomes. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 27 for Windows, was used to conduct the statistical analysis.
resultsTPFL was used in both primary and revision rhinoplasty, with septal cartilage being the most common conjunction graft material. The overall surgical success rate was 97.3%, with only 2.7% of patients experiencing complications. The satisfaction rate was 92.7%, with no significant difference between primary and revision cases. The highest satisfaction rate was found in patients who underwent the crushed cartilage in fascia technique (96.3%).
conclusionsTPFL in conjunction with cartilaginous materials; is a safe and reliable option for dorsal augmentation and camouflage material in primary and revision rhinoplasty, with low complication and high patient satisfaction rates.
