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

objectiveVascular embolism constitutes a severe complication of fat grafting, particularly in the temporal region-a common injection site predisposed to embolic events. Despite its clinical significance, successful management strategies remain insufficiently documented. We present a successfully managed case of multifocal arterial embolism following temporal fat grafting, providing critical insights into therapeutic strategies.

methodsA systematic analysis of a temporal fat embolism case was performed, combined with a comprehensive literature review of vascular complications in facial fat grafting.

resultsA patient developed acute multifocal cerebral infarctions and right external carotid artery stenosis 17 h post-temporal fat grafting. Comprehensive treatment including volume expansion, anticoagulation, circulation enhancement, infection control, neuroprotection, rehabilitation, and supportive care resulted in clinical recovery and successful discharge.

conclusionActive intervention for multifocal arterial embolism following temporal fat grafting can yield favorable outcomes even beyond the optimal thrombectomy window, with multidisciplinary collaboration being paramount for effective management.
