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 observe the clinical efficacy of microplasma radiofrequency in treating post-traumatic pigmentary deposition using VISIA quantitative analysis, an innovative approach not previously emphasized in microplasma radiofrequency studies. Methods: Twenty patients with post-traumatic pigmentary deposition, treated at Cangzhou Central Hospital between July 2022 and December 2022, were selected. Pigmented areas were divided into four regions (A: control; B, C, D: treated with increasing energy parameters). Adverse effects (erythema, edema, micro-crusts, pruritus) were monitored at 2, 4, and 6 weeks post-treatment using CTCAE v5.0 criteria. Pigmentary deposition scores and VISIA parameters (spots, ultraviolet spots, red areas, brown spots) were evaluated. Results: At 2, 4, and 6 weeks, Groups B, C, D showed significant reductions in pigment scores and VISIA parameters vs Group A (P < 0.05), with Group D (highest energy) achieving maximal improvement. Transient mild-moderate erythema (60-100%), edema (40-80%), and micro-crusts (20-60%) occurred in treated groups, resolving spontaneously within 14 days; no severe adverse events were observed. Conclusion: Microplasma radiofrequency significantly improves post-traumatic pigmentary deposition, with energy-dependent efficacy. Despite transient side effects at higher energies, its favorable safety profile supports clinical adoption. VISIA quantitative analysis provides robust objective evaluation, advancing standardization in pigment management.
