Biomolecular Changes Upon Ablative Laser Therapy of the Skin: A Scoping Review.
Article in International journal of dermatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Ablative laser therapy is an interventional dermatological tool mainly used for removal of skin lesions, skin rejuvenation and scar treatment. The biomolecular changes following laser therapy are yet not fully understood. This scoping review provides an overview of the molecular changes upon (fractional) ablative laser therapy. Pubmed, Embase and Web of Science were systematically searched, focusing on changes in gene and protein expression. In total, 20 studies were included, involving a variety of laser devices (10,600 nm CO
