Advances in the treatment of acne scars.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Acne vulgaris and its resulting scars represent common clinical dermatological concerns. Even after the resolution of active lesions, scars can cause significant psychological distress and severely impair patients' quality of life. In recent years, advancements in medical technology have led to the clinical application of various innovative therapies for acne scar management, with the primary goals of effectively improving both the aesthetic appearance and functionality of the scars. Treatment strategies continue to be refined-ranging from traditional physical modalities (such as microneedling) to modern energy-based devices (such as fractional lasers)-to balance efficacy and safety. Current research focuses on developing combination therapy approaches. The integration of chemical peels, laser technologies, and dermal fillers is emerging as a key trend for the future, aiming to enhance treatment outcomes while reducing treatment burden.
