Comparison of dual-plane micro-drop injection of botulinum toxin type A with two traditional methods for treating hypertrophic scars in the tension zone: A long-term clinical application study.
Trial report in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPatients with hypertrophic scarring tend to experience recurrence after treatment, which often occurs in areas of the body with high skin tension.
aimsTo evaluate better treatments aimed at reducing the risk of scar recurrence in areas of high skin tension.
methodsPatients were randomly divided into the following three treatment groups: botulinum toxin type A (BTA) via dual-plane micro-drop injections, triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) suspension, and CO
resultsThe 3-month POSAS score for each scar indicator in the treatment groups was significantly lower than that in the preoperative groups (p < 0.001). The scar score in the TAC group decreased at 3 months and increased thereafter. For other groups, the scar score continually decreased at all time points according to the Patient Scar Assessment Scale. Based on the Observer Scar Assessment Scale, the scar score continuously decreased at all time points in the BTA group; in the TAC group, it decreased at 1 month and increased thereafter; and in the CO
conclusionsAll three treatment methods were effective. However, the BTA group experienced a reduced risk of scar recurrence and maintained long-term treatment effects.
