Adding to Your Tool Box: Laser Therapy for Vascular Anomalies.
Review in Pediatric dermatology. 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
Adjuvant laser therapy of vascular anomalies is based on the principle of selective photo-thermolysis, through targeted destruction of selected chromophores with minimal injury to surrounding tissue. Choice of laser wavelength, treatment parameters, and predicted response to therapy are dependent on the dominant chromophore within the vascular anomaly, lesional location, and target depth, with relatively superficial and mucosal lesions producing the best response to therapy. Lasers can be safely combined with multi-modal approaches for vascular anomalies, including sclerotherapy, surgical excision, and systemic therapy. In this manuscript, we review the laser literature on a range of vascular anomalies, and provide indications, appropriate therapeutic and warning endpoints in the skin, pearls/pitfalls, and multi-disciplinary approaches for pediatric dermatologists pursuing laser as adjuvant therapy for vascular anomalies.
