Treatment outcomes using subcision combined with platelet-rich plasma for atrophic acne scars: a study in Vietnamese patients.

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
Backround: Facial atrophic scars significantly impact self-confidence and quality of life. Recently, the combination of -platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and subcision has been proposed as a potential treatment modality; however, clinical trial results remain inconsistent. Objectives: To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of combining subcision with PRP therapy for the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars in Vietnamese patients. Methods: A total of 44 patients with facial atrophic scars of grade 2 or higher were included in the study. Each patient underwent three treatment sessions using a combination of subcision and PRP at 4-week intervals. The patients were evaluated by three independent reviewers through a series of sequential photographs taken 1 month after the third treatment session. Results: All patients presented with atrophic scars on the cheeks, predominantly mixed scars caused by acne (96%). At evaluation timepoints, the Goodman and Baron grading scale demonstrated significant improvement, with statistically significant differences ( Conclusions: The combination of subcision and PRP is an effective and safe approach for the treatment of atrophic scars, providing significant improvement and high patient satisfaction.
