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

Multiple objective assessments have been used to assess the activity of keloids to compare different therapeutic regimens and facilitate the best individual treatment choice for patients, but none of them are standardized. A multimodal photoacoustic/ultrasonic (PA/US) imaging system, including photoacoustic imaging, elastography, ultra-micro-angiography, and conventional US technologies (gray scale US, color Doppler US, and power Doppler US), was applied to evaluate keloids by a radiologist. Growing stages were defined by patients, and Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was assessed by a plastic surgeon. A comprehensive model based on multimodal ultrasound parameters (poor-echo pattern, high vascular density, decreased elasticity, and low SO
