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

backgroundNasal filler-related vascular compromise is uncommon but may result in serious tissue injury. Mixed fillers combining hyaluronic acid (HA) with particulate biostimulators may create emboli with dual-phase rheologic behavior that is not fully addressed in current management algorithms derived largely from HA-only events.

objectivesTo present an illustrative case and case-derived technical algorithm integrating high-dose hyaluronidase with superficial micropuncture decompression for early nasal ischemia following injection of a mixed HA-biostimulator filler.

methodsWe describe an illustrative case of dorsal nasal artery ischemia following injection of a premixed HA-calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) formulation containing lidocaine with epinephrine. Early-stage ischemia was managed using a dual-approach rescue strategy consisting of track-based high-dose hyaluronidase for enzymatic debulking, followed by tension-guided superficial micropuncture for mechanical decompression, together with adjunctive supportive measures.

resultsClinical improvement with reperfusion was observed within 24 to 48 h, with marked improvement by Day 5 and near-complete recovery by Day 7. At 4-week follow-up, the patient showed near-complete recovery without clinically evident scarring, contour irregularity, or atrophy. Pain improved markedly, and patient satisfaction was high.

conclusionsIn this illustrative case, a dual-approach rescue strategy combining high-dose hyaluronidase with superficial micropuncture was associated with favorable early recovery. This case-derived technical framework may be considered in selected early cases of mixed-filler nasal ischemia, but its independent benefit and generalizability remain uncertain and require further evaluation in larger series.
