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

backgroundNanofat is gaining traction in facial rejuvenation as a minimally invasive regenerative approach with short downtime and natural, sustained results. Despite growing evidence supporting its biological effects on multiple aspects of facial aging, its use remains limited. Non-surgical facial rejuvenation primarily relies on injectables, chemical peels, and energy-based procedures. However, most of these approaches address only selected aspects of aging and often require repeated treatments. This retrospective case series presents a novel synergistic multilayer nanofat protocol designed to address both skin quality and facial contour in a single minimally invasive session.

methodsA total of 42 consecutive patients treated between 2023 and 2025 were included. The protocol combined subcutaneous autologous nanofat injections with intradermal nanofat microneedling using an oscillating electronic device, with optional fractional CO

resultsModerate to marked overall improvement was observed in 35 of 42 patients (83%). Skin quality improved in all patients (42/42, 100%). Improved facial contour, particularly in the tear trough and midface, was noted in 38 of 42 patients (90%). Even low nanofat volumes were sufficient to achieve meaningful improvement in selected patients. Results remained stable at longer follow-up. No major complications occurred.

conclusionsThis retrospective analysis suggests that the novel synergistic multilayer nanofat approach may represent a feasible regenerative strategy for full-face rejuvenation. Further prospective studies are warranted. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
