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

Introduction: Facelift procedures maintain a central role in facial rejuvenation and require a balance between safety, efficacy and natural outcomes. Material and methods: In this article, the authors describe their approach to deep plane facelift, based on their knowledge of facial anatomy and dynamics of facial aging. They emphasize the cohesive mesoface unit comprised of skin, subcutaneous fat and the mesoface fat pad. They describe their approach to the deep plane face lift focusing on repositioning of the mesoface fat pad with limited undermining. Results: The authors performed 864 facelifts over the last 5 years with 0 nerve complications and 37 hematomas reported. The results were considered harmonious and appeared durable, with the technique tailored to each patient's anatomy and addressing the natural descent of the face. Conclusion: The described facelift technique is a deep plane facelift tailored to each individual patient with anatomical preservation.
