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

Background: Rhinophyma, a progressive nasal deformity resulting from advanced rosacea, presents significant cosmetic and functional challenges. Fully ablative CO Objectives: To assess the long-term outcomes, safety and patient satisfaction associated with fully ablative CO Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 152 patients with rhinophyma (grades I-III) treated with CO Results: Significant aesthetic improvement (GAIS ≥ 3) was observed in 84% of p atients, with an average satisfaction score of 2.51/3. Recurrence was rare (4%), occurring primarily in older men with grade III rhinophyma. Side effects included mild hypopigmentation (9%) and textural changes (2%). A deep learning model identified rhinophyma grade, age and Fitzpatrick phototype as key predictors of treatment outcomes. Logistic regression confirmed that advanced rhinophyma grades significantly reduced hypopigmentation risk [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.18-0.97; Conclusions: Fully ablative CO
