Korean Medicine Subcision Therapies in Scar Treatment: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study at Network Clinics.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: This study is a retrospective, multicenter research designed to report the efficacy of Korean medicine subcision therapies in scar treatment. Patients and Methods: Charts and photographs of 29 patients who received subcision treatment between May 2016 and June 2020 in four scar treatment network clinics were analyzed. The Qualitative Global Acne Scarring Grade System (QGASC) and the Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES) were used to objectively measure scar scores. Results: Except for 4 patients whose GASGS and SBSES scores remained unchanged, most patients' scars showed improvement from Visit 2 to about Visit 8. Furthermore, the degree of change for both scales was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Subcision therapy using acupuncture has been found to be an effective treatment for scar, with statistically significant improvements in patients' SBSES and QGASC scores.
