Quantitative Image Analysis of Vascular Skin Response to Intense Pulsed Light Therapy.
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 1 paper.
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
Purpose: This study assessed the effectiveness of treatments using intense pulsed light (IPL) in reducing vascular lesions of the facial skin, such as erythema and telangiectasia. Patients and Methods: The study involved 38 subjects aged 20 to 61 who underwent a series of 3 IPL procedures. In order to quantitatively assess the effects of therapy, advanced clinical photography techniques involving cross-polarized light and dedicated image analysis algorithms, ie GLCM (Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix) and QTDCOMP (Quadratic Tree Decomposition), were used. Results: The results indicate a significant reduction in vascular lesions after a series of treatments, which was confirmed by a statistically significant reduction in GLCM contrast and an increase in image homogeneity. Additionally, the use of quadratic tree decomposition allowed for the quantitative determination of skin homogeneity after therapy. Conclusion: The study has shown that image registration in cross-polarized light as well as GLCM and QTDCOMP analysis are effective tools for the objective and quantitative assessment of vascular skin lesions. These methods can be widely used in clinical practice to optimize the therapy of vascular lesions and monitor the effectiveness of IPL procedures.
