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

Background: Cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are being used increasingly for aesthetic enhancements, including lip enhancement, cheekbone augmentation, and nasolabial fold improvement. This study aimed to assess the safety and performance of a newly introduced dermal filler across different skin types. Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm clinical study that evaluates the safety and effectiveness of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate injection in patients undergoing treatment for facial wrinkles and lip enhancement. Participants underwent assessments at baseline; immediately at postoperative day 0; and at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the procedure. The safety and effectiveness were evaluated through physical examinations, wrinkle severity ratings, full face global aesthetic assessments, cheekbone augmentation, nasolabial fold severity, and lip enhancement evaluations. Results: The study cohort included 122 participants, 41 men and 81 women, predominantly with Fitzpatrick skin types 3 (59%) and 4 (41%). Physical examinations revealed a significant reduction in facial wrinkles, with 81.14% (left side) and 84.42% (right side) of patients showing no wrinkles after 1 year. Full face aesthetic improvements were noted, with 36.88% of patients being "very much improved." Cheekbone augmentation showed no wrinkles in 55.74% of patients (left side) and 72.13% (right side) at 1 year. Nasolabial fold severity decreased most significantly between 6 months and 1 year. Conclusions: The novel cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal filler is safe and effective for enhancing lips, augmenting cheekbones, and improving nasolabial folds across various skin types. Significant improvements were observed in wrinkle severity, overall facial aesthetics, and specific enhancement areas.
