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

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous glands. Microsurgical acupuncture and debridement technique is one of the most precise and effective external treatment for acne. We introduce successful treatment of two cases of moderate to severe acne with this technique and describe the characteristics and mechanism of the technique in detail. We innovatively put forward a series of technical schemes including minimally invasive debridement, key points in operation and combined medication in the microsurgical therapeutic technique of acupuncture and debridement. It provides a practical reference for the simple and effective therapeutic technique to be applied to the clinical treatment of acne.
