Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty in East Asian Patients: A Case Series with 6-Month Follow-Up.
Article in Archives of plastic surgery, 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
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty has recently gained popularity for natural dorsal contours with minimal disruption. However, its application to East Asian noses remains limited due to anatomical features such as thicker skin and weaker cartilage compared to Caucasian noses. We retrospectively reviewed five patients who underwent structural preservation rhinoplasty using push-down or let-down techniques. Structural tip grafting was applied in all cases. Outcomes were assessed using clinical photographs, computed tomography (CT) scans, and patient satisfaction surveys during a 3- to 6-month follow-up period. All patients demonstrated improved dorsal profiles without major complications. A mild recurrence of the dorsal hump occurred in one case. CT analysis showed a mean hump reduction of 2.75 mm. Four patients reported high satisfaction: One reported moderate satisfaction due to tip over-projection. Structural preservation rhinoplasty is feasible in Asians when modified with structural support techniques. CT-based findings support the technique's suitability for Asian nasal anatomy.
