Novel Application of 1064-nm Picosecond Nd:YAG Laser for Male Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment.

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
Background: There are limitations and side effects of currently approved treatments for AGA, such as topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and low-level light therapy. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the potential of fractional picosecond laser (FPL) therapy for promoting hair regrowth. Methods: This was a pilot study in which five male participants were treated with a 1064-nm FPL for mild-to-moderate AGA. The patients underwent three treatments at four-week intervals, followed by a four-week post-procedure assessment. Expert panel assessment score and patient satisfaction was assessed using a seven-point scale. Dermoscopic analysis was conducted to evaluate hair shafts. Adverse effects were also monitored. Results: Clinical improvement was observed at 1 to 4 months after treatment, with a significant increase in expert panel assessment scores ( Conclusion: The preliminary study demonstrates the potential of 1064-nm FPL for promoting hair regrowth in male pattern hair loss. Nonetheless, further research is recommended to elucidate and ratify for the optimization of this promising treatment approach.
