1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The development of scarring in inflammatory acne may induce permanent disfigurement and considerable psychosocial impact on the lives of affected individuals. The early use of systemic acne therapy can help to prevent these unfortunate consequences. Antiinflammatory antibiotics such as tetracyclines are required in moderate to severe papulopustular acne. The recommended treatment duration is 3 months; combination with topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide increases the speed and efficacy of lesion reduction and helps to prevent bacterial resistance. Oral isotretinoin is the treatment of choice in severe acne resistant to adequate conventional therapy. Hormonal treatment represents an alternative regimen for women with acne and is the first choice in late-onset acne and in those with clinical signs of hyperandrogenism.
