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

Background: Lip aging is a concern for many, and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are a popular solution. Objectives: This study compared 2 different HA gel technologies (OBT and NASHA) for lip augmentation in 20 volunteers. Methods: Both groups received treatment from the same injector using the same method. Lip volume was measured with a 3D stereophotogrammetry device before, immediately after, and 30 days posttreatment. Patient satisfaction and adverse events were assessed through FACE-Q scales analysis. Results: The NASHA group showed an immediate volume increase ( Conclusions: This study highlights that less cohesive gels may modify faster in dynamic lip areas, emphasizing the importance of selecting products based on their physicochemical and rheological properties. In the context of lip augmentation with HA, it is important not to consider immediate aesthetic changes as definitive results, as volume changes may persist and develop over time after the treatment.
