Multiple laser spot sizes treatment of childhood spider nevi: a retrospective study of 452 patients.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 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
backgroundSpider nevus (SN) is a common cutaneous vasoproliferative disorder in children. Data on the use of 595 nm PDL with multiple laser spot sizes for treating SN in children remain scarce.
objectiveTo summarize the clinical characteristics and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of 595 nm PDL with multiple laser spot sizes in treating SN in children.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 452 patients treated for SN using 595 nm PDL with multiple laser spot sizes.
resultsAmong the 452 children with a total of 508 lesions, complete resolution was achieved. Lesions on the head and face required a greater proportion of multiple treatments compared to other locations, whereas lesions on the neck and other areas were cured with a single treatment (χ2 = 7.774E-8, p = 0.001). There was a significant association between lesion diameter and the number of treatments, with larger lesions requiring a greater proportion of multiple treatments (χ2 = 4.725, p = 0.001). Regarding treatment season, more treatments were needed in summer (χ2 = 13.233, p = 0.001). A total of 36 children (7.08%) experienced localized adverse reactions.
conclusionsOur findings confirmed the efficacy and safety of 595 nm PDL with multiple laser spot sizes for treating SN in children.
