Effects of Polyrevitalising Solution Injections Combined With Facelift Surgery on Facial Scar Healing and Skin Quality: A Split-Face Pilot Study.

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: Minimizing visible scarring is a critical concern in facelift surgeries. Combining surgical techniques with adjunctive treatments, such as polyrevitalizing solutions (PRS), may enhance wound healing. Polyrevitalizing solutions, a solution with hyaluronic acid and bioactive molecules, has shown potential to improve skin quality and healing. Objectives: The analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of PRS injections before and after facelift surgery in improving scar healing and skin quality. Methods: Seven patients undergoing facelift surgery participated in this split-face case series. One side of the face received PRS injections (5 sessions: 1 week before surgery, on the day of surgery, and at 2 weeks, 1 month, and 45 days post-surgery), while the other side served as a control. Scar healing was assessed using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale at multiple time points. Skin hydration, firmness, homogeneity, and radiance were also evaluated. Results: The PRS-treated side showed significantly faster improvements in POSAS scores by Day 10, compared to Day 90 on the untreated side. Scar characteristics, such as vascularity, thickness, relief, and pliability, improved earlier on the treated side. Skin quality parameters, including hydration, firmness, and radiance, were significantly better at 60 days on the treated side. Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores indicated greater patient and investigator satisfaction on the PRS-treated side. Conclusions: In this pilot study, combining PRS injections with facelift surgery significantly improved scar healing and skin quality, providing a promising adjunctive treatment for better aesthetic outcomes.
