The Photocoagulation-Assisted Aesthetic Treatment of Phlebectasias of the Lips Using a Nd:YAG Laser with a Low Energy Level.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Venous lakes (VLs) are benign malformations often localized in the lips, therefore impacting the self-confidence of patients. In the present study, the use of a Nd:YAG laser according to a defined protocol with a low level of absolute energy (4.9 J) is proposed for the treatment of VLs of the lips. A total of 47 patients with 50 labial VL were treated with a Nd:YAG in one laser session without local anesthesia. The area reduction was evaluated according to the Vlachakis criteria 7 and 30 days after the laser application. Additionally, oral discomfort was rated according to the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) during and 24 hours after the procedure. All patients achieved complete clinical healing within 30 days after the laser application. In particular, patients with VL with a diameter ≤ 6 mm (62.1%) achieved a complete resolution after 7 days (
