Insights From the Supreme Court Decisions: Undesirable Consequences After Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Interventions in Türkiye.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWith the increasing demand for cosmetic procedures in recent years, the implementation of some of these procedures by unauthorized persons has led to undesirable results and subsequently to the creation of a large number of case files.
aimsIn this study, it is aimed to retrospectively evaluate the decision texts of the Turkish Supreme Court regarding minimally invasive cosmetic dermatology procedures and to evaluate the reasons and results of the applications reaching the high court in these procedures.
methodsThe Supreme Court's decisions in cases filed due to undesirable consequences caused by minimally invasive cosmetic interventions were scanned using the Supreme Court of Appeals' online database from 2013 to 2023.
resultsThe majority of the procedures addressed by the lawsuits are carried out in beauty salons; laser epilation is the procedure that is conducted most frequently, and burns are the most prevalent complication (87.8%, 85.7%, and 77.6%, respectively). As an adverse event, 94.7% (n = 36) of burns occurred in beauty centers. Thirteen (26.5%) of the cases in our analysis were carried out by an unauthorized person. When laser epilation and other procedures are considered as two separate categories, in applications due to adverse events of laser epilation, 28 (66.7%) cases were concluded in favor of the defendant.
conclusionsComplications, especially burns, that occur after laser epilation performed by unauthorized persons in beauty salons constitute a serious caseload, and there seems to be a need for better control mechanisms to reduce this burden.
