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
Background: Treatment of pigmented scars requires simultaneous scar remodeling, pigment regulation, and prevention of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fractional CO2 laser therapy combined with moist healing for pigmented scars. Patients/Methods: This retrospective self-controlled study included 34 patients with facial pigmentation scars treated with fractional CO Results: Scar appearance significantly improved after a mean of 5.44 ± 1.80 treatments. The total POSAS score decreased from 83.97 ± 4.16 points before treatment to 33.56 ± 3.27 (P < 0.0001). The overall effective rate was 100.00%. Adverse reactions, mainly transient erythema and edema, were mild. Mild PIH occurred in three patients and resolved spontaneously within 3 months. No serious adverse events, including infection, permanent depigmentation, or scar aggravation, were observed. Conclusion: Fractional CO
