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

Background: The periorbital region is characterized by early visible signs of aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity. While surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty have traditionally been used to address these changes, minimally invasive aesthetic treatments such as polynucleotides (PNs), botulinum toxin, and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are increasingly preferred due to lower risks and shorter recovery times. Although these treatments are widely used, real-world data on the efficacy and safety of such combination protocols remain limited. Objective: To assess the time course and safety of a comprehensive holistic rejuvenation procedure using highly crosslinked HA-based fillers, PNs, and letibotulinumtoxinA in the extended periorbital region. Materials and Methods: In this prospective, non-interventional study, 34 participants with a mean age of 41.2 ± 11.4 years received an extended periorbital treatment comprising injections of an HA-based filler at Visit 1, polynucleotide at Visit 1, 2 and 3 and letibotulinumtoxinA at Visit 3 (Week 6). A mean total of 1.38 ± 0.37 cc HA-based filler was administered per patient. Skin wrinkling in the periorbital region was assessed using VISIA skin analysis, while glabellar line severity and midface volume deficit were evaluated using the Facial Wrinkle Scale (FWS) and Midface Volume Deficit Severity Scale (MVDSS), respectively. Assessments were performed by the principal investigator at baseline, week 8, and week 22. Results: VISIA analysis showed no statistically significant change in periorbital wrinkling at Week 8 (+1.6% vs baseline) and by Week 22 (-5.1%). Mean FWS scores improved from 2.9 at baseline to 1.6 at Week 8 and 2.4 at Week 22, while MVDSS scores improved from 2.6 at baseline to 1.1 at Week 8 and remained improved at 1.3 at Week 22; all changes from baseline were statistically significant. Two non-serious injection site reactions (5.9%) were reported. Conclusion: This study describes the real-world time course of a multimodal approach targeting muscle activity, volume loss, and skin quality in the extended periorbital region. Larger, longer and ideally controlled studies are required to characterize the safety and efficacy of such staggered multimodal treatment approaches.
