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

backgroundPolynucleotide (PN) filler often causes pain and can lead to delivery inaccuracies when applied via intradermal injection using a traditional needle.

aimsTo evaluate the efficacy of treatment and the pain during the procedure using conventional needle injection versus a needle-free jet system for intradermal PN filler application.

methodsIn this split-face clinical trial, 10 Korean subjects were enrolled. Each subject received an intradermal injection of PN filler on one side of the face and a needle-free jet injection using CureJet on the other side. Assessments included global and 3D skin imaging at each visit. Pain intensity was evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) scores during the injection. Additionally, patient satisfaction and adverse events were documented.

resultsFindings revealed that Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores and patient satisfaction were significantly higher with the CureJet compared to the needle injection method. VAS scores were notably lower on the CureJet side. Improvements in both pore and wrinkle indices were observed from baseline, with a more pronounced improvement rate on the CureJet side compared to the needle injection side.

conclusionsNeedle-free injection of PN for aging skin was found to be effective in enhancing pore and wrinkle improvement, while reducing associated discomfort.
