Triamcinolone Injection in the Treatment of Malar Edema.
Article in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionTear-through deformities can be a detectable sign of facial aging. Over recent years, minimally invasive procedures such as hyaluronic acid filler injections have been shown to be effective in improving this area. Malar edema is the accumulation of fluid over the malar eminence persisting for 1 month or more. Given its nature, the management remains problematic. The most commonly reported treatment modality is injection with hyaluronidase.
objectivesTo determine the safety and efficacy of triamcinolone injection in the treatment of malar edema.
methodsA total of 15 female patients with malar edema, with a mean age of 43.77 years, were treated with triamcinolone injections. The volume injected was chosen by the investigator. Prior to the triamcinolone injection, all patients had been treated with hyaluronidase, which turned out to be ineffective in all cases. Patients were asked to note all adverse effects.
resultsSatisfactory results were achieved after a single treatment session for 14 patients and after two treatments for one patient. Overall, injections with triamcinolone were well tolerated and no adverse reactions were reported.
conclusionsInjection with triamcinolone appears to be a safe and effective option for the management of malar edema following hyaluronic acid filler injection. Nevertheless, further research with larger patient groups is compulsory.
