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

BACKGROUND AND

aimThe present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the two-three-point injection technique using hyaluronic acid fillers to increase chin volume.

methodThe present study included three RCT and three cohort studies of international databases, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase using relevant keywords until June 2025. The statistical analysis was performed with Stata/MP.v17 as fixed or random effect models.

resultsThe GAIS responder rate for chin enhancement of HA filler with two-three-point injection technique was 94% (ES: 0.94; P < 0.001; 95% CI 0.92, 0.97). Common ISRs were firmness (ES: 91%; 95% CI 88-94%) and swelling (ES: 87%; 95% CI 84-90%). The overall rate of adverse events was estimated to be 7.92% (ES: 7.92%; 95% CI 6.31-9.53%).

conclusionHigh efficacy and acceptable safety were evident for the two-three-point injection technique for HA filler injection for the chin enhancement.
