Treatment of Stretch Marks Using a New Formulation Combining Nanofractional Radiofrequency Plus Magnetic Nanofractional Radiofrequency.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionStretch marks are common atrophic dermal scars with significant physical and psychological effects. Therefore, there is a need for effective cosmetics and procedures for stretch mark treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel treatment for stretch marks that is made up of topical formulations containing beta-glucan combined with nanofractional radiofrequency.
methodsThis randomized, blinded control trial enrolled 64 Chinese women aged 20-45 years at > 6 months after delivery with obvious white or silver abdominal stretch marks. Participants were randomly allocated to group A (blank group), group B (topical product group), group C (product combined with nanofractional radiofrequency), and group D (vehicle combined with nanofractional radiofrequency). The stretch mark width, skin elasticity, skin color, skin thickness, and collagen density were noninvasively measured. Two trained assessors evaluated the severity, color, outline, and relaxation of the striae.
resultsGroup C showed the best treatment efficacy, with no adverse effects observed during the study period.
conclusionOur findings indicate that stretch mark treatment using topical formulations containing beta-glucan, combined with nanofractional radiofrequency plus magnetic nanofractional radiofrequency, is tolerable and effective.
