Cosmetic Procedures in Patients with Skin of Color: Clinical Pearls and Pitfalls.
Review in The Journal of clinical and aesthetic dermatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Over time, cosmetic procedures have continued to grow in popularity and patients seeking these procedures have expanded to include more patients with skin of color. However, not all cosmetic procedures are created equally and it is important to understand the nuances associated with treating darker skin types. This review aims to provide clinical pearls and pitfalls when performing the following procedures in skin of color: chemical peels, microneedling, injectables (botulinum toxin and fillers), and laser treatments. These procedures have been demonstrated to be safe in skin of color as long as certain precautions are taken into consideration.
