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

BACKGROUND AND

aimFractional CO

methodFrom December 2017 to January 2023, a total of 103 patients with facial acne atrophic scars treated with MMP technique were retrospectively analyzed. MMP was performed for 1-4 sessions with an interval of approximately three months. Based on photographs taken before and after treatment, overall atrophic scar improvement was assessed according to the ECCA grading scale, the modified Manchester Scar Scale and the 4-point Global Assessment Scale (GAS). The safety was evaluated by the degree of pain during treatment and postoperative adverse reactions.

resultsAll the 103 patients received treatment and completed follow-up, with an average of two sessions. The mean ECCA score decreased from 162.7 to 93.1 with statistically significant difference ( DISCUSSION: Ultra-pulse CO
