Detection of anatomical changes induced by gold nanoparticle-mediated selective photothermolysis in acne using ultra-high-frequency ultrasound.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 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
Acne is the most common dermatologic disease, and to date, acne treatments have not been monitored using imaging. This study evaluates the anatomical changes induced by a new acne treatment, selective photothermolysis, using gold nanoparticles, both clinically and with ultra-high-frequency ultrasound. Three adolescent patients with mild acne underwent a three-session treatment protocol combining nano-gold application with Q-Switched 1064 nm laser therapy. We found visible improvements in pore size and evidence of targeted thermal impact on sebaceous structures and neighboring tissues. These findings support the use of ultrasound as a valuable non-invasive tool for monitoring treatment effectiveness.
