[Picosecond lasers in dermatology].
Review in Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe picosecond laser is one of the latest laser systems in dermatology and was originally developed to optimize tattoo removal. Advances in this technology has expanded the use of the picosecond laser to numerous other indications.
objectivesThis article provides an overview of the technical background as well as the indications of the picosecond laser in dermatological laser medicine and elucidates the possibilities and limits of this laser system. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe article is based on a review of the current literature as well as experience from clinical practice in a university laser department.
resultsThe picosecond laser enables a particularly gentle and effective treatment due to ultra-short pulses and the principle of laser-induced optical breakdown. Compared to Q‑switched lasers, the picosecond laser has fewer side effects and is associated with lower pain intensity and shorter downtime. In addition to the removal of tattoos and pigmentary disorders, it is also used in the treatment of scars and rejuvenation.
conclusionsThe picosecond laser has a wide range of indications in dermatological laser medicine. The current data indicate that the laser is an effective method with few side effects. Further prospective studies have to be conducted to assess the efficacy, tolerability and patient satisfaction in an evidence-based manner.
