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

backgroundAging is an inevitable aspect of human life, characterized by the gradual decline in the function of individual cells and structural components, including bones, muscles, and ligaments.

aimTo evaluate the clinical effects of radiofrequency technology in treating facial skin wrinkles and laxity.

methodsThis study included 60 female patients, aged 36-58 years (mean age 47.71 ± 1.56 years), who received focused radiofrequency technology treatment for facial wrinkles and laxity in the Department of Medical Cosmetology at our hospital between January 2021 and June 2022. Each patient underwent three treatment sessions, one every two months. Facial photographs were taken before treatment and one week after the final session. A single physician assessed wrinkle severity using a standardized wrinkle severity scale, and patients completed a satisfaction questionnaire one week after the last treatment.

resultsAfter three consecutive radiofrequency treatments, performed every two months, patients exhibited significantly reduced wrinkles and skin laxity compared to baseline. One week after the third treatment, the mean facial wrinkle severity score had significantly decreased from 3.00 ± 0.79 to 2.71 ± 0.47 (

conclusionRadiofrequency technology demonstrates significant clinical efficacy in improving facial skin wrinkles and laxity.
