Marionette Line Correction Using Threads.
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
Marionette lines and jowl ptosis present unique challenges in Asian populations due to distinct anatomical variations. The modiolus in Asians is positioned approximately 11 mm lateral and 9 mm inferior to the oral commissure, compared to at or above the commissure in Caucasian and African populations, predisposing to downturned oral commissures and age-related ptosis. This innovation describes a dual-technique approach combining multidirectional barbed threads for deep structural lifting with volumizing monofilament threads for superficial rhytide correction. Barbed threads are anchored at Loré's fascia in the sub-superficial musculoaponeurotic system plane, engaging ptotic jowl tissues with vectors perpendicular to the marionette line. This combined strategy addresses both deep ptosis and superficial lines while preserving natural facial dynamics and avoiding critical perioral neurovascular structures. The technique offers a minimally invasive solution tailored to Asian facial anatomy.
