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

Recently, various biocompatible and biodegradable materials have garnered significant attention as cosmetic fillers for skin rejuvenation. Among these, poly ε-caprolactone (PCL), poly L-lactic acid (PLLA), poly D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA), and polydioxanone (PDO) microspheres have been developed and commercialized as a dermal filler. However, its irregularly hydrophobic microspheres pose hydration challenges, often causing syringe needle blockages and side effects such as delayed onset nodules and papules after the procedure. In this study, we synthesized a polyethylene glycol-poly D,L-lactic acid (mPEG-PDLLA) copolymer to address the limitations of conventional polymer fillers. Comprehensive characterization of the copolymer was performed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The mPEG-PDLLA copolymers demonstrated a unimodal size distribution of approximately 121 ± 20 nm in an aqueous solution. The in vitro cytotoxicity and collagen genesis of mPEG-PDLLA copolymers were evaluated using human dermal fibroblast cells. In this study, angiogenesis was observed over time in hairless mice injected with mPEG-PDLLA copolymers, confirming its potential role in enhancing collagen synthesis. To assess the inflammatory response, the expression levels of the genes MMP1 and IL-1β were analyzed. Additionally, gene expression levels such as transforming growth factor-β and collagen types I and III were compared with Rejuran
