1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To investigate the effect of ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser (AFCO2L) combined with 1064 nm-Nd: YAG laser in treating hypertrophic scars (HTS) in burn patients. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 119 patients with postburn HTS admitted to The First People's Hospital of Changzhou from March 2021 to October 2023. According to the treatment method, patients who received 1064 nm-Nd: YAG laser treatment were included in the YAG group, while patients who were treated by a combination of 1064 nm-Nd: YAG laser and AFCO2L comprised the combined group. Treatment effects, skin properties, and patients' satisfaction with aesthetics were compared between the two groups. Results: The total efficacy of the combination group was significantly higher than that of the YAG group ( Conclusions: A combination of AFCO2L and 1064 nm-Nd: YAG laser in the treatment of HTS is associated with a more significant effect, more significant improvement of skin properties, less pigmentation, and overall increased patient satisfaction with the aesthetics compared to the treatment with 1064 nm-Nd: YAG laser alone.
