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

objectiveThe purpose of this study is to explore the clinical efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound precision monitoring ring drilling for the treatment of pathologic scarring.

methodsA total of 124 patients with pathologic scarring treated in Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2020 to July 2024 were selected for the study and were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group, with 62 patients in each group.

resultsThe total effective rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, scores for pigmentation, vascularity, thickness, pliability, and the total Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Similarly, visual analog scale (VAS) scores and itch scores were significantly lower in the treatment group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions-including hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, redness, swelling, and pain-between the two groups (P > 0.05).

conclusionHigh-frequency ultrasound precision monitoring ring drilling is a fast, safe, and convenient operation technique, has a promoting effect on the regression of scarring, and is worth promoting.
