Comparative Morphometric and Histometric Evaluation of Power-Dependent Tissue Ablation Using Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Fractional carbon dioxide (CO Objective: To evaluate and compare fractional CO Methods: Ex vivo porcine skin was treated with a fractional CO Results: The 30 W and 40 W settings demonstrated energy-dependent increases in ablation depth and diameter. The 40 W laser consistently generated deeper ablation columns (average 11.8% deeper) with narrower surface diameters (average 7.3% narrower) and reduced peripheral carbonization. Linear regression showed strong correlations between energy and ablation depth (r > 0.91) and diameter (r > 0.91), with higher slope coefficients in the 40 W group, indicating greater ablation efficiency. Conclusion: The 40 W fractional CO
