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

backgroundThere is a growing need for a more visually pleasing silhouette through non-invasive body contouring procedures.

aimThis study evaluates the use of a 1060-nm laser system equipped with a temperature detector, for non-invasive fat reduction of the female and male abdomen and female culottes and thighs, which represent the prevalent areas among individuals requiring cosmetic contouring. MATERIAL AND

methodA total of 20 male and 40 female patients who were considering lipolysis without invasive procedures of the abdomen and coulottes/thighs areas were treated with a 1060-nm laser system. All patients underwent 4 laser treatment sessions spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart. The study's endpoints were photographic investigations by independent blinded physicians at 3 months follow-up, screening for adverse effects, abdomen and coulotte/thighs circumference measurements, BMI, and 4-point Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). Clinical measurements were evaluated before (T0) and at 3 months follow-up after the last laser treatment session (Tf).

resultsDuring the entire laser treatment, the skin temperature remained below 40°C, demonstrating the safety of the study device in preserving the skin from thermal damage. Clinician assessment from the photographic investigation, GAIS, BMI and circumference mean values showed good efficacy of laser treatment and visible aesthetic results for abdomen and coulotte/thighs areas both in men and women.

conclusionsThe use of 1060 nm lasers offers an alternative therapy choice for patients who demand a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure for fat reduction with no serious consequences.
