Esthetic and reconstructive options for earlobe deformities.
Review in Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery. 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
Background: The earlobe plays a significant role in framing the face and complementing the appearance of earrings, hairstyles, and other facial features. In addition to the growth of the earlobes with the aging process, other changes can compromise the shape, size, and overall youthful appearance of this region. The main changes are evidenced by the elongation and ptosis of the earlobes, loss, atrophy of soft tissues, and formation of wrinkles in addition to deformities produced by surgical procedures, placement of earrings, and piercings or earlobe gauging. Objective: The authors describe the main changes in the earlobes and review the current treatment modality for earlobe rejuvenation and reconstruction, addressing the anatomy, common esthetic concerns, and various therapeutic approaches. Methods: A narrative review of treatment options was performed. We searched PubMed databases. Based on the diagnosis of changes, less invasive surgical procedures, use of laser, and fillers with fat or hyaluronic acid represent therapeutic options. Results: Significant improvement of the senile earlobe and correction of anatomical and esthetic deformities can be attenuated or corrected through different approaches. Proper diagnosis of the changes will determine the best treatment or even the combination of procedures. Conclusion: Surgical procedures, laser rejuvenation, fat injection, and fillers represent simple and effective options for treating esthetic problems and acquired deformities of the earlobes.
