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

backgroundLips are prone to dehydration and aging. Effective noninvasive hyaluronic acid (HA) delivery remains challenging.

aimTo evaluate topical Replenishing Lip Filler-Tiered Release Vesicles (RLF-TRV) in filler-naïve and previously-augmented lips.

methodsTwo single-center trials evaluated efficacy and tolerability of RLF-TRV Serum. Study 1 included filler-naïve subjects or those without lip filler for 12 months. Study 2 enrolled subjects with prior HA lip augmentation (3-9 months earlier) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Participants applied RLF-TRV or placebo twice daily for 3 weeks, followed by a 2-week regression period. Outcomes included grading of shine, texture, and vermilion border, Investigator and Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (I-GAIS, S-GAIS), and satisfaction. Imaging and tolerability assessments were conducted throughout the study.

resultsRLF-TRV significantly improved lip aesthetics (shine, texture, and vermilion border), with high satisfaction across both studies. In Study 1, 94% of treated participants were "Improved" on I-GAIS (p < 0.001), and 81% were "Much-Improved" on S-GAIS (p < 0.05). In Study 2, 88% of treated participants were "Improved" on both I-GAIS and S-GAIS. RLF-TRV was well tolerated, with no recorded adverse events.

conclusionsRLF-TRV significantly improved lip aesthetics, offering a noninvasive alternative or complementary treatment to injectable procedures.
