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

objectivesTo compare the efficacy and safety of the ultra-pulsed carbon dioxide (CO

methodsThis retrospective study included 230 XP patients treated from February 2021 to June 2024. Among them, 120 patients received ultra-pulsed CO

resultsBoth lasers achieved high clearance rates (> 95%), with no significant difference between the two groups (83.33% in the ultra-pulsed CO

conclusionsBoth laser therapies were effective in treating XP. However, the ultra-picosecond laser demonstrated superior safety, with fewer complications and lower recurrence rates, despite requiring more treatment sessions.
