Efficacy and safety of non-fractional ablative carbon dioxide laser resurfacing for the treatment of rhinophyma - a retrospective cohort and questionnaires-based study.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 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
purposePhymatous rosacea is a chronic and disfiguring subtype of rosacea, mainly affecting the nose and leading to the development of rhinophyma. This condition manifests with erythema, enlarged pores and increased sebum secretion, progressing to textural alterations and nasal hypertrophy. Ablative CO
methodsA Retrospective case series of patients with severe rhinophyma treated with an ablative CO
resultsSixteen patients (15 males) were included, of which 13 patients (81%) had completed the questionnaire on an average of 15 months following treatment (range 2-24 months). Patient satisfaction following treatment was high, with an average satisfaction score of 7.9 out of 10 (range 4-10). Post-procedure aesthetic outcome was rated as very good or excellent in 13 patients (81%, with 75% or greater improvement). Among the 13 patients who completed the questionnaire, 11 (85%) indicated that they would recommend this treatment to others with a similar condition.
