Insights on in-office scar revision and resurfacing procedures.
Review in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 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
Objective: Many facial plastic surgery procedures can be performed in an office-based setting, ranging from simple chemical peels to reconstructive surgeries to assist with scar revision. The aim of this review is to summarize the current state of facial plastics in-office surgical procedures, including scar revision, dermabrasion, lasers, and chemical peels. Methods: A literature review was conducted with the PubMed search engine with the following keywords: facial plastics, scar revision, dermabrasion, lasers, chemical peels, face, office, and outpatient. The literature was surveyed for relevance, with a focus on realistically which procedures were performed in a facial plastics surgery outpatient clinic. These were then used to compile a review of the current state of this field. Results and Conclusions: There are various scar revision procedures that can be performed in the office setting, including z-plasty, w-plasty, and geometric broken line closure techniques, as well as various nonmedical treatment options to improve the appearance of a scar. Dermabrasion can also be performed to assist with elevated scars. Various lasers are available to enhance cell turnover in the field of facial rejuvenation, scarring, and sun damage. Chemical peels are also available to assist with facial rejuvenation. With the appropriate counseling of the patient and medical staff, these can be safely performed in the office.
