1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) devices have improved since 2002, with a significant change in the widths of the tip that comes into direct contact with the skin. We compared the histometric changes between different tip irradiation areas. A total of 28 participants were divided into two groups (14 participants per group) and received a single session of monopolar RF on the face using a 3 × 3 cm
