Histological and immunohistochemical changes in facial skin treated with combined ablative and non-ablative laser therapy.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFacial skin rejuvenation is a highly sought after procedure. Different materials, energy-based devices and techniques have been shown to offer good results in facial rejuvenation.
aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the macroscopic and histological and immunohistochemical changes in facial skin treated with a combined laser therapy. PATIENTS/
methodsFourteen patients aged from 38 to 59 years were included in the study. Two different wavelengths (2940 and 1064 nm) were used in this four-step procedure.
resultsSignificant improvement according to classification for age-related changes in all areas of the face was achieved. There were also significant structural changes in the epidermis and dermis, confirmed with histology and immunohistochemistry.
conclusionThe dual-wavelength protocol has been found to provide excellent results for facial rejuvenation.
