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

Based on the theory of stimulated emission of radiation that was proposed by Albert Einstein in 1916, the first lasers were developed in the 1960s. The first clinical use of laser technology in a German university took place in 1978 in the Department of Dermatology of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Munich under the guidance of the former director, Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. mult. Otto Braun-Falco. In the following years, laser technology developed rapidly. Today laser technology is a widely used interdisciplinary therapeutic procedure that has deep clinical and scientific roots in dermatology. There are many conditions in both classic and aesthetic dermatology that are routinely - and sometimes exclusively - treated with lasers. Here we review recent developments in laser medicine. There seems to be a trend to combination procedures. To enhance efficacy, different laser systems are together or lasers are combined with specific topical medications.
