Botulinum neurotoxin for lip flip.
Article in JPRAS open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection for "lip flip" is used to achieve subtle upper lip eversion by partially relaxing the pars marginalis of the upper orbicularis oris. This short communication describes the anatomical rationale, injection approach, and early clinical observations in three consecutive patients treated with LetybotulinumtoxinA. BoNT was reconstituted to 4 U/0.1 mL and injected superficially along the upper vermilion border, with 1 U per site, avoiding the oral commissures and deeper muscle layers. At two weeks, all patients showed subtle upper lip eversion and reduction of vertical rhytides, with satisfaction ranging from "Satisfied" to "Very Satisfied." No patient reported speech disturbance, difficulty with oral movement, asymmetry, or oral incompetence during the short follow-up. These findings should be interpreted as preliminary because of the very small sample size, lack of control group, absence of blinded assessment, and short follow-up.
