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

backgroundStriae distensae (SD) is a common cutaneous condition with an estimated incidence of 56%, associated with rapid skin expansion, hormonal changes, and genetic factors. While traditional treatments (e.g., topical tretinoin, various lasers) exhibit limitations, non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL), injectable fillers, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and combination therapies have emerged as promising modalities, though certain aspects require clarification.

aimsThis review aims to synthesize current evidence on the pathogenesis and management of SD, with a particular focus on evaluating the recent progress of 1565 nm NAFL to provide guidance for clinical practice and future research.

methodsA systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The review prioritized randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and substantial clinical studies published between 2010 and 2025.

resultsStriae distensae (SD) arises from mechanical tension, hormonal imbalance, and inflammation-induced dermal matrix disruption. Efficacious treatments include alpha hydroxy acids, injectable fillers, 1540 nm Er:Glass laser, 532 nm Nd:YAG laser, picosecond lasers, intense pulsed light, and combination therapies (e.g., fractional microneedling/CO

conclusionsThe management of SD is evolving towards individualized combination strategies. Fractional microneedling plus PRP and fractional CO
