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

backgroundA well-defined jawline improves overall facial aesthetics, motivating patients to seek jawline augmentation.

objectivesIn this study we evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the hyaluronic acid injectable gel VYC-25L for restoring jawline definition.

methodsIn a US multicenter, evaluator-blinded study adults with grade 2 (moderate) or 3 (severe) Allergan Loss of Jawline Definition Scale (ALJDS) scores were randomized. Participants were randomized to the VYC-25L treatment group or control group at study onset, with 12-month follow-up. The control group had the option to receive treatment after 6 months (primary endpoint completion). Effectiveness measures included Month 6 ALJDS responders rate (proportion of participants with ≥1-grade improvement from baseline on both sides), FACE-Q Satisfaction With Lower Face and Jawline scores, and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) responders (improved/much improved) as assessed by the investigator and participants. Injection site responses (ISRs) and adverse events (AEs) were monitored.

resultsAt Month 6, ALJDS responder rates were 69.0% vs 38.0% in the VYC-25L treatment (n = 157) and control (n = 49) groups, respectively (P = .0001). In the VYC-25L treatment group, FACE-Q scores improved by a mean of 45.9 points from baseline at Month 6 (P < .0001). Furthermore, 88.4% and 89.0% of participants in the VYC-25L treatment group were GAIS responders at Month 6 by participant and investigator assessment, respectively. Most ISRs were mild or moderate and resolved within 2 weeks. Most treatment-related AEs were mild and resolved within 1 week.

conclusionsVYC-25L safely and effectively restores jawline definition through 1 year. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1:
