Ocular Complications of Cosmetic Laser Use in Patients and Treating Doctors/Estheticians: A Systematic Review of Case Reports and Case Series.
Article in Indian dermatology online journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
abstractCosmetic laser treatments are extremely popular and widely available. Along with increasing laser use, there are also reports of rising adverse effects, the majority of which are noted to involve the eye. This systematic review was conducted to assess the nature and severity of ocular injuries associated with various cosmetic lasers in both patients and laser operators and to deduce methods of reducing such incidents. A total of 24 case reports/case series involving ocular adverse effects of cosmetic lasers were retrieved using the following keywords: "cosmetic laser," "patient," "aesthetician," "laser operator," "dermatologist," and "ocular injury," either singly or combined. The databases searched include PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Science Direct. Anterior uveitis was noted to be the commonest adverse effect, and retinal laser burns were the most vision-threatening. Ocular morbidities in the treating physician/esthetician were also noted, many of which were accidental in nature.
