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

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation but is associated with risks, including rare filler-induced alopecia (FIA) in the temporal and frontal regions. While subcutaneous hyaluronidase (HAase) injection is the standard treatment, we report an alternative approach using concentrated growth factor (CGF) injections. A 29-year-old female presented with a pruritic alopecic patch in the right temporal region that appeared 20 days after receiving HA filler injection. A well-demarcated 6×4 cm alopecic patch persisted despite prior treatment with HAase. The patient subsequently underwent four CGF injections. During the ten-month follow-up, significant hair regrowth was observed. This case suggests that CGF monotherapy is a promising treatment for FIA.
