Pilot Study: Hyaluronic Acid Fillers in the Management of Scars After Skin Cancer Surgery.

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: Scarring after skin cancer surgery, particularly facial surgery, poses significant aesthetic and psychological concerns for patients. Surgical revision, although effective, can be associated with increased morbidity and recovery time. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers offer a potential nonsurgical alternative for scar revision, but their use in post-skin cancer scar revision is not well documented. This retrospective pilot study aimed to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and patient satisfaction of HA fillers for the revision of scars following skin cancer surgery. Methods: A retrospective, single-center study was conducted on 10 patients who underwent HA filler treatment for scar revision following skin cancer surgery. These patients had previously declined further surgical revision due to its associated morbidity. The treatment involved multiple sessions of high-viscosity HA fillers, with intervals of 3 months between sessions. Patients' satisfaction was assessed using a Likert scale. Results: All patients reported high satisfaction, with 6 patients rating their outcome as 5 out of 5 and 4 patients rating their outcome as 4 out of 5. No complications, including vascular occlusion or infection, were observed during or after the treatment. Conclusions: This retrospective pilot study demonstrated the potential utility of high-viscosity HA fillers for scar revision following skin cancer surgery, with high patient satisfaction and no observed complications.
