Synergistic Effects of Thread Lifting, Autologous Fat Grafting, and Multi-Modal Laser Therapy in Facial Rejuvenation.

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: Facial aging is a multifactorial process involving tissue descent, volume depletion, and dermal degeneration. Minimally invasive modalities like thread lifting, autologous fat grafting, and laser treatments address different aging components. However, their synergistic impact remains underexplored. Objectives: The aim of the author of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and histologic rationale of combining permanent thread lifting, autologous fat grafting, and nonablative laser therapy for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 65 female patients (aged 31-60, Fitzpatrick skin types II-IV) treated from January 2022 to January 2023 were included. Patients were divided into 3 groups: thread lifting alone (Group 1), thread + laser (Group 2), and thread + laser + fat grafting (Group 3). Evaluations were performed at 12 months by a plastic surgeon, a dermatologist, and the patients themselves using a 5-point Likert-scale assessing skin texture, fine wrinkles, lift effect, and overall satisfaction. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney Results: Significant group differences were observed in skin texture ( Conclusions: Combining thread lifting, autologous fat grafting, and laser therapy may provide superior aesthetic outcomes to thread lifting ± laser therapy alone. This is likely the result of the synergistic effects on mechanical lift, volume restoration, and dermal remodeling. These findings support an integrative treatment paradigm for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation and justify further prospective validation with histologic endpoints. Level of Evidence 3 Therapeutic:
