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

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most prevalent inherited neuromuscular disorder. It commonly leads to various musculoskeletal deformities, profoundly impacting the quality of life. The present case report explores the often under-recognized body image dissatisfaction in CMT, highlighting the potential benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to enhance aesthetic satisfaction. We present a case of a 54-year-old woman with CMT, who experienced chronic facial asymmetry, significantly impairing her quality of life. Seeking cosmetic enhancement, she underwent two sessions of facial treatment using hyaluronic acid-based fillers. The first session focused on correcting right mandibular hypoplasia and other facial asymmetries, whereas the second session focused on enhancing perioral aesthetics. The treatment resulted in significant aesthetic improvements, as demonstrated by high ratings in both the Physician Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale and the Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale. Besides, there was a marked reduction in lip corner asymmetry, the patient's primary concern. The role of hyaluronic acid fillers in facial aesthetic enhancement is well established, and their application in the context of CMT is a promising under-investigated field, to our knowledge. This case study highlights the importance of considering body image in CMT patients and suggests that minimally invasive aesthetic procedures can be a valuable addition to the multidisciplinary care of patients with inherited neurological disorders. Despite being a single-case study, the significant improvement in the patient's aesthetic satisfaction requires further research in this field.
