The Comparison between Microneedling and Fractional CO
Article in Indian journal of dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Context: Photoaging correlates with ultraviolet radiation (UVR). In addition to direct and indirect DNA damage, UVR leads to a breakdown of collagen, resulting in enlarged pores, visible wrinkles, also uneven skin tones and pigmentations. Amniotic membrane stem cell (AMSC) can be a useful modality in cell regeneration. Vitamin C has been known as an agent of depigmentation, antioxidants, and collagen synthesis. A topical combination of amniotic membrane stem cell-conditioned medium (AMSC-CM) and vitamin C is expected to improve photoaging. Fractional CO Aims: To compare between microneedling and fractional CO Methods and Material: Sixty Indonesian women with photoaged skins participated in this experimental analytic, controlled, matching research and were divided into two groups. Thirty women received fractional CO Results: Assessment of wrinkles, UV spots, skin tone, and pore revealed a statistically significant effect of a topical combination of AMSC-CM and vitamin C after fractional CO Conclusions: Combination of AMSC-CM and vitamin c using fractional CO
