Combination of rhinoshave and fractional ablative CO

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
backgroundCurrently, there are no effective drug therapy options that lead to the regression of rhinophyma. Many surgical procedures for treating rhinophyma have been published; however, there are limited data on their effectiveness. In addition, these treatment options often lead to persistent hypopigmented scarring if excessive ablation or heat is applied. PATIENTS AND
methodsTo prevent excessively deep ablation and enable precise nasal contouring, a combination therapy was developed, integrating classic rhinoshave for coarse ablation followed by laser fine contouring. Fractional ablation was performed to minimize heat accumulation. Here, we report on 45 patients with pronounced rhinophyma who underwent this treatment at the Dermatology Clinic of Leipzig University between 2016 and 2024. The median follow-up period was 51 months (range: 6-96 months).
resultsThe majority of the patients were either very satisfied or satisfied with the postoperative outcome (n = 26; 92.3%). One case of postoperative hemorrhage was reported (2.2%). There was no wound infection observed, and the recurrence rate was 17.9%.
