Lasers, Light, and Energy-Based Devices in Plastic Surgery: A 3-Year Review of a Resident Cosmetic Clinic Experience.

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
Background: The increasing utilization of laser and light-based technologies in plastic surgery has heightened the need for comprehensive training programs within residency programs, allowing trainees to remain competitive in the cosmetic medicine field. Objectives: This review intends to describe our trainees' experience with lasers in their last 2 years of training while participating in their resident cosmetic clinic. Methods: This retrospective chart review examines laser procedures conducted from 2021 to 2023 within the Resident Cosmetic Clinic at the study institution. Data were gathered from internal records and patient charts, focusing on demographics, procedure types, complication rates, and training structures. Results: This study analyzed 162 resident cosmetic laser, light-based device, and radiofrequency cases between 2021 and 2023. There were 90 patients with an average age of 46.8 years with the majority being females (95.6%). Intense pulsed light was the most frequently used modality used in 46.01% of procedures. The overall complication rate was 6.17%. Conclusions: The findings suggest that resident laser clinics, under proper supervision, provide a safe and effective training ground for future plastic surgeons. This study underscores the need for standardized and comprehensive education to enhance resident knowledge and skills in laser and other energy-based devices. Level of Evidence 3 Therapeutic:
