Combined therapy of 532-nm KTP and microsecond 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser for rosacea.
Trial report in Lasers in medical science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07250165 (Prospective, Single-arm, Open-label Study of Efficacy and Safety of 532 nm KTP and Microsecond 1064 nm Nd), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
The management of rosacea continues to pose a significant clinical challenge, underscoring the necessity for alternative therapeutic strategies to address this chronic dermatological condition. The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of combined therapy using a 532-nm potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser and a microsecond-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser for the treatment of rosacea. A total of 15 participants underwent 3 sessions of combined laser therapy, with each session administered at 3-week intervals. Clinical evaluations were performed both before the initiation of treatment and after the completion of all 3 treatment sessions using the Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Additionally, the Global Assessment of Improvement Scale (GAIS) was utilized to quantify overall clinical improvement, while patient-reported satisfaction levels and adverse events were documented throughout the study period. Statistical analysis revealed a significant reduction in the CEA score, which decreased from a baseline mean of 3.33 ± 0.47 to 1.47 ± 0.62 following treatment (P < 0.001). Concurrently, the DLQI score exhibited a significant improvement, declining from 18.20 ± 2.14 at baseline to 13.80 ± 2.40 post-treatment (P < 0.001). With regard to the GAIS, 14 out of 15 patients (93.3%) demonstrated clinical improvement; among these, 10 patients (66.7%) achieved either much or very much improvement. Notably, no severe adverse events were reported during the study. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest that combined therapy with a 532-nm KTP laser and a microsecond-pulsed 1064-nm Nd: YAG laser represents an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for facial erythema associated with rosacea. Trial registration number was NCT07250165 (ClinicalTrials.gov) and date of registration was 18th, November, 2025, retrospectively registered.
