Bilateral Facial Artery Hypoplasia in the Face: Surgical and Aesthetic Implications.
Article in Cureus, 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
While individual variations in the branching pattern of the facial artery have been reported, the simultaneous absence of multiple major branches is exceedingly rare. During routine cadaveric dissection of the superficial face, a unique combination of facial artery terminal branches was observed in an 85-year-old man. On the left side, the inferior labial artery and angular artery were absent. On the right side, the superior labial artery was absent. Additionally, the transverse facial artery was absent bilaterally. Consequently, the dorsal nasal artery and infraorbital arteries provided supplemental blood supply to the face, which is underreported in the literature. This combination of variations could significantly impact aesthetic procedures and head and neck surgeries, underscoring the need for awareness of these variations in preoperative and postoperative planning. .
