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
The use of soft tissue fillers for cosmetic purposes has increased in recent years, accompanied by increasing complications. We report a case of foreign body granuloma after absorbable filler injection requiring surgical management. A subcutaneous cheek mass developed in a 60-year-old woman after hyaluronic acid and polycaprolactone-based filler (Ellansé) injection. The mass enlarged despite corticosteroid therapy, causing pain, sensory disturbance, orbital pressure, and visual discomfort. On referral, the lesion was at risk of skin invasion and was surgically excised. Histopathology confirmed foreign body granuloma. Five months later, cheek depression was reconstructed with an anterolateral thigh flap. Additional revisions, including fat injection, achieved near-complete contour restoration without recurrence. This case illustrates the potential for severe complications after filler injection and emphasizes the value of surgical and reconstructive techniques for both disease control and cosmetic recovery.
