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

backgroundThe periorbital region is among the first areas noticed in an individual, playing a crucial role in facial attractiveness and emotional expression.

aimsOpen-label study to evaluate the impact of mid and upper facial treatment with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and onabotulinumtoxinA (onabotA) on periorbital satisfaction and appearance. PATIENTS/

methodsEligible participants received ≥ 2 HA fillers (VYC-15L, VYC-17.5L, VYC-20L) in the mid and upper face on Day 1, and VYC-15L in the infraorbital hollow (IOH) on Day 30 if needed. Optional touch ups followed after 14 days. OnabotA was administered to glabellar lines (GL) and/or lateral canthal lines (LCL) on Day 60. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in FACE-Q Satisfaction with Eyes to Day 90. Additional effectiveness assessments and safety were monitored throughout.

resultsEnrolled participants were 86.3% White and 13.7% Asian. FACE-Q Rasch-transformed scores increased from baseline to Day 90 by 55.5 points (p < 0.0001). Investigator-assessed infraorbital appearance improved in 69.4% of participants at Day 30 (p = 0.063 vs. baseline) and in 100% at Day 90. Periorbital appearance improved in 91.7% (investigator) and 95.8% (participant) of participants at Day 30, reaching 100% for both at Day 90 (nominal p < 0.0001 vs. baseline). IOH severity gradually decreased, with 59.8% of participants showing minimal or no severity at Day 90 versus 0% at baseline, and infraorbital volume increased. No unexpected safety signals were observed.

conclusionsCombination of HA fillers and onabotA treatments improved eye satisfaction, periorbital and infraorbital appearance, IOH severity, and infraorbital volume, demonstrating direct and indirect treatment effects.
