Low-energy Morpheus8 and Nanofat Grafting for Compartment-specific Facial Rejuvenation: Selective Fat Remodeling and Skin Quality Enhancement.

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
Background: This study evaluated a novel approach combining low-energy Morpheus8 radiofrequency (RF) microneedling and nanofat grafting for facial rejuvenation, aiming to preserve adipose tissue while enhancing skin quality. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients (aged 20-45 y) treated with nanofat injections immediately after low-energy RF microneedling. Outcomes included Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores and nonsurgical parameters (pore visibility, skin luminosity, and fine wrinkles), assessed at 1, 3, and 12 months posttreatment. Results: Pretreatment Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores (mean = 3.35, SD = 0.61) showed significant improvement posttreatment (mean = 1.76, SD = 0.87; Conclusions: The combination of low-energy RF microneedling and nanofat grafting synergistically improves facial aesthetics by targeting regenerative and structural aging markers. Specific enhancements in nonsurgical regions underscore the value of this adjunctive approach. Larger controlled studies are warranted to establish causality.
