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

backgroundBotulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA) is widely used in aesthetic facial rejuvenation medicine. The exponential growth in using BoNTA for cosmetic purposes in Korea necessitates an update to the existing practice guidelines, building upon the consensus established by Korean experts in 2013.

aimsThis work aims to provide an updated Korean consensus guideline for the safe and effective use of a novel BoNTA product (NEWLUX) for facial expression muscles.

methodsA panel of ten Korean experts in dermatology, plastic surgery, aesthetic medicine, and clinical anatomy convened in February 2024. They reviewed prior guidelines, including the 2013 Korean consensus, and shared their expertise on dosage, injection techniques, and potential complications associated with the use of the novel BoNTA product for facial expression muscles. The recommendations aimed to guide the best practices of the average aesthetic healthcare professional.

resultsThe panel reached a consensus on various aspects of using the BoNTA product, including recommended injection sites, dosages, and techniques for different aesthetic conditions caused by facial expression muscles. The resulting guideline emphasizes safety and efficacy, with recommendations based on the collective experience of the expert panel.

conclusionThis updated consensus guideline provides practical recommendations from Korean experts on the use of the novel BoNTA product for facial expression muscles. The guidelines will ensure safe and effective treatments while reflecting the latest advancements in the field.
