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

backgroundFacial aging is a complex and multifactorial process that progressively affects the structure, volume, and quality of facial tissues. This study aims to present a case series involving South American patients of different generations and facial morphotypes treated with HArmonyCa®, a hybrid filler composed of hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite.

methodsFour patients of varying ages, genders, and facial profiles underwent individualized treatment plans tailored to their aesthetic concerns and aging patterns. All patients received clinical evaluation and three-dimensional imaging analysis using the Vectra 3D system, which enabled precise quantitative assessment of outcomes.

resultsSignificant improvement in facial firmness and contour definition was observed, yielding a rejuvenated, natural-looking appearance. The bio-stimulatory effects of calcium hydroxylapatite, combined with the immediate volumization from hyaluronic acid, produced a noticeable and progressive lifting effect. Three-dimensional imaging supported the clinical findings by demonstrating tissue repositioning and volumetric enhancement in strategic facial areas.

conclusionThis case series highlights the potential of HArmonyCa® as an effective, safe, and versatile approach for facial rejuvenation, adaptable to a wide range of patient profiles. The integration of objective tools such as 3D imaging further enhances treatment planning and outcome evaluation.
