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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the current degree of skin photoaging in young Asian women and to explore the intervention effects of non-ablative bipolar radiofrequency (RF) combined with ablative fractional CO₂ laser. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 202 young Asian female patients (aged 18-35 years) with photodamaged skin who attended our hospital between March 2023 and March 2024. The patients were divided into two groups based on the intervention program: the RF-alone group ( Results: Among the 202 young Asian female patients with photodamaged skin, the Glogau classification showed 144 cases (71.29%) classified as Grade I and 58 cases (28.71%) classified as Grade II. Fitzpatrick skin typing revealed predominantly Types I-II (approximately 71%): Type I 76 cases (37.62%), Type II 68 cases (33.66%), Type III 36 cases (17.82%), and Type IV 22 cases (10.89%). The combined group showed a significantly higher total effective rate than the RF-alone group (95.08% vs. 78.75%; χ Conclusion: The degree of skin photoaging in young Asian women is predominantly mild to moderate, with greater sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation characteristic of Fitzpatrick Types I-II. Non-ablative bipolar radiofrequency combined with an ablative fractional CO₂ laser demonstrates superior efficacy in improving photoaging symptoms compared with RF alone, without a significantly increase in adverse reactions. This combination approach represents a safe and effective intervention strategy for the management of early photoaging in young Asian women.
