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

This study aimed to investigate the effect of glycerol as an Optical Clearing Agent on the temperature profile of the skin during HyperThermic Laser Lipolysis using computer simulation. In this study, a three-layer model of the skin was used to simulate HyperThermic Laser Lipolysis. The Monte Carlo MCML code was used to investigate the propagation of laser photons inside skin tissue. The energy absorbed from photons is used as a heat source to determine the increase in temperature and assess thermal damage in the layers of the skin. The finite element method in COMSOL software was used for calculation. The simulation of single-pulse radiation exposure with and without applying glycerol to the skin model was investigated to assess the impact of glycerol. Glycerol decreases the temperature and thermal damage to the epidermis layer while increasing the temperature of the fat layer. Moreover, the presence of glycerol increases the depth of fat cell destruction. Glycerol, as a supplement, significantly improves the efficacy of HyperThermic Laser Lipolysis.
