Complications of Laser and Energy-Based Procedures in Dermatology: Classification, Management, and Prevention.
Review in Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology : JDDG, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Laser and energy-based devices (EBDs) are firmly established in dermatology and widely used for both medical and aesthetic purposes. Even with advanced safety features such as integrated cooling and real-time monitoring, these procedures still carry inherent risks. Complications may occur as a result of inappropriate device choice, suboptimal parameter settings, insufficient patient evaluation, or limited operator experience. This CME article provides an overview of the spectrum of adverse events associated with dermatologic laser and EBD treatments, ranging from expected short-term reactions to late complications, including pigmentary alterations, scarring, and ocular injury. Strategies for prevention and management are outlined, with particular attention to the importance of patient selection, treatment planning, and post-procedure care. In addition, regulatory frameworks in Germany, such as the Verordnung zum Schutz vor schädlichen Wirkungen nichtionisierender Strahlung bei der Anwendung am Menschen (NiSV), and initiatives like the complications registry of the German Dermatological Society of Laser Medicine are highlighted as important measures to enhance patient safety. A comprehensive understanding of potential risks and their mitigation is essential to ensure safe practice and optimize clinical outcomes in laser dermatology.
