Recommendations on Ultrasound-Guided Hyaluronic Acid Soft Tissue Augmentation of the Upper Face in Asians.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundUltrasonography allows real-time imaging of facial soft tissue during hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections. However, there is currently limited guidance relating to ultrasound-guided HA filler placement in the upper face.
aimsTo develop guidance for the effective use of ultrasonography to improve the safety of HA filler injection procedures.
methodsThrough a series of online video conferences and anatomical studies conducted on a model and a cadaveric specimen, specialists from Korea, Thailand, and China drew recommendations for ultrasound-guided filler injections of the upper face.
resultsThe authors outlined critical anatomical landmarks for safe HA filler placement to correct volume deficits or treat hollowness of the forehead, temple, and upper eyelids. They provide insights on treatment indications and injection techniques using ultrasound for safe HA filler placement. The recommendations are presented in this paper.
conclusionsWhere there are anatomic variations in the vasculature of the forehead, temple, and periorbital area, ultrasound-guided filler placement can provide an additional safety measure. Current evidence may give rise to standard practices incorporating ultrasound in injection protocols for the preventive and therapeutic management of adverse events.
