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

Perioral aging manifests as fine lines, wrinkles, and structural changes, often requiring specialized treatment. Although laser systems are widely used in facial rejuvenation, few studies directly compare their efficacy in perioral rejuvenation. This study evaluates and compares the efficacy and safety of two laser systems-Erbium: glass laser and Nd: YAG combined with Er: YAG laser-for perioral rejuvenation. A prospective, comparative clinical trial was conducted with 36 female patients who sought perioral rejuvenation at a tertiary dermatology hospital. Participants were randomly assigned to either the erbium: glass group or the Nd: YAG combined with Er: YAG group, each receiving three treatment sessions at 4-week intervals. Efficacy was assessed through clinical wrinkle severity ratings, VisioFace
