Purpura following laser hair removal: a case report.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Laser hair removal (LHR) is a reliable and safe technique for the long-term reduction of unwanted hair. Common adverse effects involve momentary discomfort, transient erythema, and perifollicular edema, while the occurrence of purpura is infrequent. A 25-year-old Greek woman with skin type IV developed purpura on her lower extremities 48 hours after her first alexandrite laser session. A positive response to a laser hair removal provocation test was identified, aiding in diagnosis. Treatment with orally administered corticosteroids and antihistamines led to complete resolution within 7 days. Purpura following laser hair removal is a rare side effect, and its underlying cause remains unclear. Physician awareness of such adverse reactions can streamline patient care, reducing the need for unnecessary tests and offering improved management protocols.
