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
Purpose: Children with facial and cervical birthmarks display unique physical and psychological complexities that demand multifaceted, long-term care following laser treatment. Integrated care based on the integrated care models is a promising approach to address these needs. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of integrated care for children with large facial and cervical birthmarks who were undergoing laser treatment. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data of children who received laser treatment under general anesthesia at our clinic from March 2022 to August 2024. Children were divided into a control group, which received conventional care, and a study group, which received integrated care based on the integrated care models in addition to conventional care. Outcomes compared between the groups included the children's FPS-R and medication awareness rates on the seventh day post-discharge, parental satisfaction at seven days and three months, and the incidence of adverse reactions within three months. Results: A total of 153 children were enrolled in the study, with 76 in the study group and 77 in the control group. Under the premise of comparable clinical characteristics, the study group exhibited significantly lower FPS-R (P=0.012) on the seventh day and higher parental satisfaction at both seven days and three months post-discharge (P<0.001) compared to the control group. There was no significant difference in parental medication awareness rates between the groups, despite the study group achieving 100%. No significant differences were observed in the rates of adverse reactions; however, the control group reported severe local or systemic reactions, whereas the study group experienced only transient, mild adverse reactions. Conclusion: This study provided the first evidence of the efficacy of integrated care in laser treatment for pediatric facial and cervical birthmarks, particularly in alleviating pain levels and enhancing parental satisfaction. It also mitigated the severity of post-discharge adverse reactions. Integrated care improves treatment outcomes and the care experience for families of these special children, warranting further investigation.
