Textbook-Ultrasound-Cadaver: A Three-Step Learning Method in Facial Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. 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
backgroundFacial botulinum toxin type A injections are among the most common procedures in the field of aesthetic surgery. However, this procedure requires practitioners to have a comprehensive understanding of the anatomical distribution of facial muscles.
objectivesTo aid young physicians in mastering facial botulinum toxin injections methodically, a three-step learning approach that integrates anatomical atlases, ultrasound imaging, and cadaver dissection-termed the Textbook-Ultrasound-Cadaver method-was implemented.
methodsOver a 1-year period, four training sessions were conducted, involving 115 young clinicians. The training combined didactic lectures on facial anatomy, hands-on ultrasound examinations, and cadaver dissection with injection simulation. Participants rated their understanding of facial muscle anatomy before and after the training, as well as their overall satisfaction with the course.
resultsParticipants' self-rated understanding of facial anatomy increased from 6.5 ± 2.7 to 8.9 ± 1.8 points after the training. Course satisfaction was high at 9.2 ± 2.1 points.
conclusionsThe Textbook-Ultrasound-Cadaver method provides a structured approach to learning facial botulinum toxin injections, integrating key anatomical knowledge with practical imaging and hands-on training.
