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

backgroundArterial embolism is a rare complication caused by hyaluronic acid (HA) injection. However, it is one of the most serious complications. Once it happens, the complication would have a great and long-term impact on patients. Intra-arterial recanalization has been reported for recovering the visual acuity in patients with visual loss caused by hyaluronic acid. There is little report about the benefits of superselective intra-arterial recanalization therapy for skin wounds caused by hyaluronic acid vascular embolization.

methodsEight patients who had received the superselective intra-arterial recanalization therapy were retrospectively reviewed. Hyaluronidase was injected into the facial artery by superselective intra-arterial recanalization therapy, followed by symptomatic treatment. The facial artery recanalization was successfully performed and no interventional procedure-related adverse events happened.

resultsArterial embolization accompanies by the interruption or reduction of blood supply, followed by ochrodermia, pain, numbness, swelling, yellowish white secreta and even necrosis on skin wound area. Early detection of skin blood supply disorders and early recovery of blood supply are very critical to treat facial artery embolization caused by HA. After superselective intra-arterial recanalization therapy, the blood supply to facial skin was restored and skin wounds recovered in all patients. Only 1 patient was left with small and superficial scars.

conclusionSuperselective intra-arterial recanalization therapy is an effective and safe method that can alleviate skin wounds caused by HA vascular embolization.
