Efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide laser-assisted drug delivery in the management of post-burn scars - A prospective study.
Article in Journal of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery. 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
Objectives: The objective of our study is to assess the efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) in the management of post-burn scars. Material and Methods: It is a prospective study conducted from March 2021 to February 2022, with 32 patients ranging in age from 9 to 52 years. The scars lasted anywhere from 6 months to 18 years. The ethical clearance of the Institutional Ethics Committee was obtained. The patient's median age was 22 (range, 09-52). Patients were assessed using a modified Vancouver scar scale (mVSS) score before and after receiving fractional CO2 laser at monthly intervals. Results: After one treatment, statistically significant improvements in pigment, thickness, and pliability were seen according to the mVSS scores, and these improvements persisted through the final laser session. Conclusion: Our study has demonstrated that fractional CO2 LADD seems to be an encouraging approach in the management of post-burn scars with good patient satisfaction.
