Patient-Reported Outcomes for Glabellar Line Improvement and Satisfaction With the RelabotulinumtoxinA Ready-to-Use Liquid Formulation: Data From the Phase 3 READY-1 Trial.
Trial report in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRelabotulinumtoxinA (relaBoNT-A; Relfydess, Galderma, Uppsala, Sweden) is a novel, ready-to-use liquid form of botulinum toxin A, created using PEARL technology to produce a highly effective, complex-free formulation.
objectivesThis study reports the patient-assessed effectiveness and satisfaction outcomes from the relaBoNT-A Phase 3 READY-1 study.
methodsAdults with moderate-to-severe glabellar lines were randomized 3:1 to receive relaBoNT-A (50 U) or placebo in a 6-month, double-blind, multicenter study. Patient-reported endpoints at maximum frown included ≥1 grade improvement on the glabellar line subject live assessment (GL-SLA) scale from baseline and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) score. Satisfaction and well-being investigations used the Facial Lines Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (FLTSQ), Natural Expressions Questionnaire, and FACE-Q Psychological Function Questionnaire.
resultsOverall, 233 adults received relaBoNT-A and 74 received placebo. RelaBoNT-A responder rates for ≥1-grade GL-SLA improvement from baseline at Day 7 and Months 1, 3, and 6 were 97.2%, 97.7%, 90.0%, and 71.0%, respectively, vs 18.9%, 26.8%, 27.5%, and 22.4% with placebo (P < .001). GAIS responder rates were 74.3% to 98.1% (relaBoNT-A) and 9.0% to 16.2% (placebo). Posttreatment FLTSQ Rasch-transformed scores were higher with relaBoNT-A (≥62.5) than placebo (≤49.8) for the Appearance Module and Treatment Satisfaction Module (relaBoNT-A: ≥83.0; placebo: ≤36.8). RelaBoNT-A-treated patients reported looking natural (≥83.3%) and feeling confident when making facial expressions (≥75.7%). Mean change in FACE-Q well-being score was higher with relaBoNT-A (11.0-13.7) vs placebo (0.6-4.5).
conclusionsAdults with moderate-to-severe glabellar lines receiving a single relaBoNT-A treatment reported significant improvements in glabellar line severity throughout the 6-month study period. RelaBoNT-A provided natural looking results, high satisfaction, and psychological well-being improvements. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 (THERAPEUTIC):
