Comparison of the Efficacy of 1064- and 730-nm Picosecond Lasers for Acquired Dermal Melanocytosis.
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 3 papers.
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
backgroundAcquired dermal melanocytosis (ADM) is a pigmentary lesion caused by melanocytes in the dermis. These conditions are refractory, and a consensus on treatment remains elusive.
aimsTo compare the efficacy of 730- and 1064-nm picosecond lasers in the treatment of ADM and to supplement the comparison with a literature review. PATIENTS: We retrospectively examined patients who underwent picosecond laser therapy between April 2021 and February 2024. Treatments were performed three times with spot irradiation using a 730-nm laser (3-mm spot, 1.7-1.8 J/cm
resultsSeventy-eight and 83 patients were assigned to the 730- and 1064-nm groups, respectively. After three sessions, the 730-nm group exhibited superior outcomes in terms of subjective symptoms (patient satisfaction), objective findings, and software analysis improvements. The incidence of hyperpigmentation was 15.4% in the 1064-nm group and 14.5% in the 730-nm group, with no significant differences observed in the rates of other complications.
conclusionsThe use of a 730-nm picosecond laser, which possesses high melanin selectivity, relatively deep penetration, and a short pulse width, suggests a potentially more effective treatment for ADM, compared to the effects of the conventional 1064-nm wavelength, without increasing complications.
