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

This review presents a comprehensive analysis of nasolabial fold classification and correction using thread-lifting techniques. Three distinct types of nasolabial folds are identified: those caused by paranasal volume deficiency, differential tissue laxity, and muscular insertions. The study emphasized the importance of Lore fascia as a key anatomical landmark and optimal adhesion point for thread placement, offering advantages over the traditional temporal approach. The technique uses a combination of bidirectional threads (Sihler Bi Lift) for tissue repositioning and volumizing threads (Sihler Volume) for fine line correction. Special consideration is given to the anatomical course of the facial artery and its branches, particularly in Asian populations, where more than 70% of people demonstrate medial crossing of the nasolabial fold. This comprehensive approach enables effective correction while minimizing complications.
