Needle-Free Jet Injectors and Their Potential Applications in Plastic Surgery: A Review.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Needle-free jet injector (NFJI) devices offer an alternative to traditional needle-syringe injection for administration of medications, vaccines, and other fluids. They are already in clinical use around the world for vaccines and insulin administration. NFJIs have reproducibly demonstrated improvement in speed of drug absorption and efficacy; however, this technology has yet to prevail in the plastic surgery industry. Plastic surgeons have experimented with this technology to inject botulinum toxin for palmar hyperhidrosis, steroids for keloids/hypertrophic scars, and local anesthesia. A review was conducted to identify studies published in the last 10 years, indexed on PubMed, involving NFJI devices. Original articles that included ex vivo experimentation, animal studies, and human trials were included. Review articles, mathematical modeling theoretical articles, and nonmedical applications of jet injectors were excluded. A total of 767 identified articles were screened. Once exclusion criteria were applied, there were 115 articles remaining. The majority of the studies were conducted on human patients ( Level of Evidence 3 Therapeutic:
