Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Combined With Q-Switched Ruby Laser in the Treatment of Periorbital Hyperpigmentation.
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
backgroundPeriorbital hyperpigmentation is a prevalent skin condition that represents a large quantity of cases seen in cosmetic dermatology. Patients tend to be left with pigmentation after Q-switched ruby laser treatment, especially the perioribital area.
aimsThe study is conducted to compare the effect of PRP injection combined with laser therapy versus laser alone for periorbital hyperpigmentation treatment. PATIENTS/
methodsIn this single-center, case-control study, 30 patients with periorbital hyperpigmentation were allocated to receive PRP injection injection after Q-switched ruby laser or Q-switched ruby laser only, followed by a 12-week and 24-week follow-up visit. Visual analogue scale, Sadick tear trough rating scale, and patients' self-evaluation were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect.
resultsThe combined group achieved a better improvement in long-term effect and had effect on facial rejuvenation. Patient satisfaction was higher in the combined group. Erythema and mild pain were the most common adverse reactions of both groups.
conclusionsCombining with PRP injection can improve the therapeutic effect of Q-switched ruby laser in treating periorbital hyperpigmentation and lessen the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, indicating a new option for POH treatment.
