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
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of fractional laser treatment combined with bipolar radiofrequency for improving atrophic facial acne scars.
methodsThe clinical data of patients with atrophic facial acne scars treated in the Dermatology Department of The People's Hospital of Chongqing Liangping District from October 2022 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups based on treatment methods: the single intervention group (Group A, n=25) and the combined intervention group (Group B, n=25). Group A received bipolar radiofrequency therapy only, with a treatment cycle of 4 weeks and 4 cycles per treatment course. Group B received combination treatment, starting with carbon dioxide (CO
resultsThe facial acne scars in both groups were classified as type III-IV before surgery. Post-treatment follow-up showed significant improvements in scar texture and atrophy in both groups. Group B demonstrated superior treatment outcomes compared to Group A. Specifically, the incidence of edema and pigmentation was lower in group B with a shorter duration of edema, faster wound healing, and reduced rest time compared to group A. Patient satisfaction was also higher in group B.
conclusionFractional laser treatment combined with bipolar radiofrequency therapy is an effective combination for patients with atrophic acne scars, offering minimal side effects and enhanced patient satisfaction.
