Photothermal Biomodulated Autologous PRP Combined with Laser and LED Phototherapy for Acne Sequelae: A Report of Three Illustrative Cases.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Acne vulgaris may lead to persistent sequelae, including post-inflammatory erythema, hyperpigmentation, and atrophic scarring. Multimodal regenerative approaches combining autologous biological therapies with light-based devices are increasingly used in clinical practice, although published clinical evidence remains limited. Case Presentations: We report 3 female patients with distinct acne-related skin sequelae: (1) post-inflammatory erythema with active inflammatory lesions, (2) post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with residual acne activity, and (3) atrophic acne scarring. Each patient was treated with a tailored multimodal protocol combining photothermal biomodulated autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP), laser therapy (non-ablative or ablative erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet), and light-emitting diode (LED) phototherapy. Clinical outcomes were retrospectively assessed using serial clinical photographs obtained during routine follow-up. Where image quality allowed, approximate inflammatory lesion counts and semi-quantitative ordinal estimates of erythema, hyperpigmentation, scar visibility, and texture change were added post hoc. Follow-up ranged from 1 month to 12 months. All 3 patients showed photographic improvement in inflammatory activity, pigmentation, skin texture, and/or scar appearance at available follow-up time points. Treatments were well tolerated, with only transient local reactions such as redness and swelling. Conclusions: These case reports illustrate the feasibility and tolerability of combining photothermal biomodulated autologous PRP with laser and LED therapies for different acne sequelae. Because no validated objective scoring system was applied prospectively, the findings should be interpreted as descriptive and hypothesis generating. These observations support further controlled studies to evaluate standardized protocols and clinical outcomes.
