Effective management of acne fulminans: Two case reports highlighting fluorescent light energy therapy.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAcne vulgaris stands as a prevailing skin condition among adolescents worldwide.
objectivesThe primary aim in addressing acne is to manage it effectively, preventing the occurrence of permanent scarring. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis case report outlines the experiences of two adolescent boys grappling with acne fulminans. Initial treatments encompassed isotretinoin, corticosteroids, and doxycycline, until they were discontinued due to their ineffectiveness and the emergence of adverse side effects such as headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Subsequently, fluorescent light energy (FLE) therapy was introduced to tackle these severe cases.
resultsAfter 4 months of FLE therapy, the patients exhibited significant improvements in their condition. Six months post treatment initiation, both patients have sustained a symptom free state, marked by the absence of active lesions.
conclusionFLE therapy effectively treated the acne fulminans cases reported and could be considered as a valid treatment option.
