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: In Chinese patients, common deficiencies-shortened columella, underprojected tip, and wide alar base-reflect maxillonasal dysplasia. Although Restylane Lyft is effective for dorsum augmentation, its role in comprehensive reshaping is less defined. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of Restylane Lyft for full nasal contour correction using a modified injection technique targeting the nasal spine and septal structures, evaluated by 3-dimensional imaging. Methods: Thirty-six patients (32 women, 4 men; mean age 31 years) underwent augmentation with Restylane Lyft. Injections were placed supraperiosteally at the radix, dorsum, and canine fossa, with a deep bolus at the columellar base above the nasal spine and precise deposition between the anterior septal angle and interdomal ligament to elongate the sub-tip lobule. Volumetric and morphologic outcomes were assessed at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Primary endpoints included nasal volume, tip projection, columellar height, and alar width. Satisfaction and adverse events were documented. Results: Posttreatment, nasal volume increased +1.2 cm Conclusions: Restylane Lyft, applied through precise anatomical targeting, may offer effective and safe correction of full nasal contours in Chinese patients. Midline bolus at the nasal spine and septal space injections seems to allow for tip projection and lobular elongation without compromising tip definition. More extensive studies need to be conducted to confirm these finding. Level of Evidence 4 Therapeutic:
