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

backgroundOver time, all the face structures inevitably undergo the effects of chrono-aging with changes in their intrinsic characteristics, position and volume. Keeping in mind that all the possible aging defects may be concomitant, in the authors' vision, a careful preoperative evaluation of the patient's aging signs should take consideration of the face as a whole. This study reported the senior author's experience and complications on over 400 patients who consecutively underwent deep plane face and neck lifting combined with periorbital rejuvenation procedures. MATERIALS AND

methods434 consecutive patients who underwent deep plane face and neck lifting combined with periorbital rejuvenation procedures were enrolled in this study. Administration of a subjective/patient-specific and objective surgeon/specific questionnaire allowed to investigate satisfaction level at 12 and 18 months after surgery. Statistical analysis was conducted with Prism9. Surgical drawings, techniques and complications were described.

resultsData deriving from patients' and surgeons' questionnaires evidenced a high level of satisfaction with the combined surgery. The patients' satisfaction tended to increase, even if with a no statistically significant manner, from 12 to 18 months. DISCUSSION: Authors outlined the importance of focus the attention also on the correction of the cranial part of the middle third soft tissues aging signs, often "neglected" during facelift, and on the periorbital area.

conclusionA satisfactory total and harmonious rejuvenation of the face and neck should include a combo surgery combining periorbital rejuvenation procedures with a more "traditional" extended deep plane face and neck lift depending on the aging signs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
