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
The relationship between good nutrition and skin health has been difficult to scientifically document. While the minimum daily allowances of nutrients to prevent disease have been established, the optimal nutritional state for skin health is unknown. This single-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 50 female subjects, aged 35 to 65 years, with mild-to-moderate photoaging and stable prescription medication usage for three months prior to study enrollment. All nutritional supplements were stopped at two weeks prior to study entry. Subjects took three morning and three evening supplement tablets or an equal number of placebo sugar pills to maintain the blinding. The blinded investigator rated a statistically significant improvement at Week 8 compared to baseline, which continued into Week 12, for the active supplement over the placebo in terms of firmness (
