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

Temporal hollowing is a common aesthetic concern addressed with filler injections using an anatomy-based approach. Understanding the complex anatomy of the temporal region, including the superficial temporal artery, temporal branch of the facial nerve, and sentinel vein, is essential for safe and effective treatment. Injection planes-subfascial, within the superficial temporal fat pad, or submuscular-are selected based on individual anatomy and desired outcomes. Techniques like retrograde horizontal fanning with a cannula optimize filler distribution, enhance contour, and minimize complications. Recognizing zones of caution helps prevent vascular and nerve injuries. This approach allows clinicians to achieve natural, youthful fullness in the temples, improving overall facial aesthetics and patient satisfaction.
