Filler Injection Between the Superficial and Deep Temporal Fascia and Diameter of Superficial Temporal Arteries for Temple Augmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 AND
aimWith age, temple depressions appear due to age-related atrophy of fatty tissue, leading to a prominent cheekbone and lateral rim of the eye socket. Hyaluronic acid fillers have become very popular in the temple area due to their simple procedure and reliable results. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of filler injection between the superficial and deep temporal fascia and the diameter of superficial temporal arteries for temple enlargement.
methodThe international databases PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched using keywords aligned with the study objective up to July 2025. All articles were reviewed by two blinded, independent authors. STATA/MP.v17 (College Station, Texas, USA) was used to perform the analyses.
resultBased on the findings of seven included studies, the efficacy of HA filler injection in the STF and DTF area showed an efficacy of 85% (ES: 85%, 95% CI: 81%-91%). According to subgroup meta-analysis, higher efficacy was observed with volume injection of 1.5 mL on each side (ES: 94%, 95% CI: 77%-100%). Subgroup meta-analysis showed that the 18-gauge cannula had the highest effectiveness (ES: 94%, 95% CI: 77%-100%).
conclusionFor temple augmentation, hyaluronic acid filler injection between the superficial and deep temporal fasciae is a highly effective and safe procedure; it is also recommended to inject filler in small volumes and use 18-gauge and 21-gauge cannulas to target the supraperiosteal and supra-deep temporal fascia layers.
