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

With the increase of cosmetic injections in recent years, complications, like filler embolism, had also increased. The pustulosis, as a result of vascular occlusion and hypoxia, requires a long treatment cycle and often develops pigmentation and scarring, leaved patients with bad memories and affected esthetics. In this study, we report three cases of pustulosis after hyaluronic acid injection. We used 5-fluorouracil preparations to heal the pustulosis and the pustules resolved in an average of 24 hours.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
