Concomitant Use of Botulinum Toxin and Super Long Nd:YAG Laser.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundBotulinum toxin is a widely utilized minimally invasive therapeutic option with minimal downtime and a low risk of serious complications. The long pulse Nd:YAG laser treatment (PIANO) has been utilized in recent years for skin rejuvenation and tightening, body shaping, and transdermal lipolysis through bulk heating of the tissue. The heat-labile bond between the heavy and light chains of botulinum toxin could be affected by laser bulk heating.
aimsThis case series aims to clinically evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin when used in conjunction with PIANO 1064 nm bulk heating. PATIENTS/
methodsThis case series included two patients who underwent standard hyperhidrosis treatment with botulinum toxin and then single-sided concomitant long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser treatment.
resultsThe iodine-starch test revealed no differences between the two areas at follow-up visits.
conclusionThis small study corroborates the findings of other research indicating that long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser treatment does not affect the efficacy of botulinum toxin.
