Simultaneous versus sequential fractional CO
Trial report in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07199608 (A Combined Subcision Approach With Either Fractional CO₂ Laser or Platelet-rich Plasma Versus Subcision Alone in the Treatment of Atrophic Post-acne Scars), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundA combination of fractional CO
aimsTo compare the efficacy and safety of simultaneous and sequential fractional CO PATIENTS AND
methodsThis single-blind, split-face clinical trial included 34 patients with post-acne atrophic scars at our institution. Each patient underwent three sessions of subcision combined with fractional CO
resultsSimultaneous and sequential treatments demonstrated comparable efficacy. Regarding the adverse events, the side of the face undergoing simultaneous treatment experienced longer swelling duration, higher pain levels during laser treatment, and shorter downtime.
conclusionsDespite the longer swelling time and higher pain levels during laser treatment in the simultaneous treatment side, the effectiveness and satisfaction level of the CO
