The Auricular Perichondrium Sleeve (APS) for Nasal Dorsum Refinement.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDuring rhinoplasty, there is often a need to perform camouflage and esthetic augmentation of the nasal dorsum. Some of the most well-studied methods include the use of deep temporal fascia and diced cartilage in fascia. Due to less trauma, taking the rectus abdominis fascia in combination with rib harvesting is becoming widespread. However, in cases where only camouflage or augmentation of the nasal dorsum is required, it is possible to avoid taking the rib and the mentioned fascia, using auricular materials successfully through a single incision.
objectivesThe article described the using of auricular perichondral sleeve for camouflage and dorsal augmentation in empty condition and filled with auricular cartilage in the modeling of diced cartilage auricular perichondral sleeve grafts.
methodsFor camouflage and augmentation of the nasal dorsum for primary, post-traumatic and secondary cases of rhinoplasty through open and closed approaches, auricular perichondrium was used in three conditions (1) empty auricular perichondral sleeve, (2) full-length filled with diced auricular cartilage, and (3) partially filled sleeve. The techniques of application of these grafts were described depends on the clinic situation.
resultsThe authors report their experience with 122 clinical cases from February 2019 to March 2022. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the types of grafts that were used.
conclusionAutologous auricular perichondrium can be used for camouflage and dorsum augmentation for primary, post-traumatic, and secondary cases.
