Calprotectin can play an inflammatory role in acne vulgaris.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionAcne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit. Although various mechanisms have been indicated in the etiopathogenesis of acne vulgaris, the exact pathophysiology is still unknown.
aimTo investigate the level of calprotectin in acne vulgaris and its levels relationship with disease severity. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 66 AV patients, who were divided into 33 mild and 33 moderate-severe cases, and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Disease severity was assessed using the Global Acne Score. According to this scale, patients whose Global Acne Score was 1-18 had mild acne, those with a score of 19-30 had moderate acne, those with a score of 31-38 had severe acne, and those with a score greater than 39 had very severe acne. Serum calprotectin levels of all participants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.
resultsThe serum calprotectin levels in the moderate-severe AV group were significantly higher than that of the mild AV group (
conclusionsSerum calprotectin levels are increased in mild and moderate AV patients.
