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

backgroundMesotherapy, a widely utilized minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, carries potential risks of adverse reactions due to non-standardized protocols and overuse. Delayed granulomatous reactions represent a chronic complication, imposing significant physical and psychological burdens on patients.

objectiveThis case series aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in managing non-infectious granulomatous reactions following mesotherapy.

methodsThis retrospective analysis included six patients diagnosed with non-infectious granulomatous reactions post-mesotherapy, treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between October 2021 and April 2025. All patients received oral tofacitinib. Clinical outcomes, treatment regimens, and safety profiles were assessed.

resultsAll six patients demonstrated significant improvement in skin lesion severity, with no treatment-related adverse events observed during follow-up.

conclusionOral tofacitinib exhibits promising clinical efficacy and a favorable safety profile for non-infectious granulomatous reactions induced by mesotherapy, positioning it as a viable therapeutic option during the inflammatory phase.
