Radiographic Manifestation of Cosmetic Hand Rejuvenation With Calcium Hydroxyapatite.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hand rejuvenation procedures using dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular as patients seek to restore dorsal hand volume and camouflage tendons and veins. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a commonly used filler that is inherently radiopaque and may produce imaging findings that mimic disease. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented for follow-up of radiocarpal arthritis. Although her radiographs confirmed degenerative arthritis, they also demonstrated diffuse, clustered radiopaque foci in the dorsal soft tissues. These findings initially suggested metabolic or dystrophic calcification, but on further history, the patient disclosed recent cosmetic hand rejuvenation with calcium hydroxyapatite filler, establishing the true etiology. To our knowledge, the radiographic appearance of dermal filler in the hand has not been previously described. As the popularity of cosmetic hand rejuvenation continues to increase, both hand surgeons and radiologists should be aware of this phenomenon to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary diagnostic work-up.
