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

Monopolar radiofrequency (MRF) is a well-established modality for non-invasive facial rejuvenation; however, its clinical utility is frequently constrained by patient discomfort and inconsistent thermal delivery. This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and mechanistic profile of a novel MRF system incorporating continuous water cooling (RF-CWC) designed to optimize thermal distribution and enhance patient tolerance. In a prospective, single-arm clinical trial involving 22 female participants, a single RF-CWC treatment utilizing region-specific static and sliding delivery modes yielded statistically significant improvements in jawline lifting, alongside a volumetric increase in the midface and a concomitant volumetric reduction in the lower face (
