Proposal for Cut-off Scores for Sensitive Skin on Sensitive Scale-10 in a Group of Adult Women.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sensitive skin is commonly assessed on the basis of self-reports from patients, and sometimes questionnaires, such as the Sensitive Scale-10, are used. The severity of sensitive skin follows a continuum, from the absence of sensitive skin to very sensitive skin. The aims of this cross-sectional study were to compare subjects with and without symptomatic sensitive skin and to propose diagnostic criteria for sensitive skin. A total of 160 women, between 18 and 65 years of age, with and without sensitive skin, and without any associated skin diseases, were recruited. Mean age was 41 years old. Fifty-five percent of participants reported having "very sensitive" or "sensitive" skin. In the sensitive skin group, the participants mainly experienced skin irritability (100%), tautness (97.5%), discomfort (90%) and redness (90%). According to the receiver operating characteristic curve, a Sensitive Scale-10 (SS-10) cut-off value of 12.7 can be used to detect sensitive skin (with a sensitivity of 72.4% and specificity of 90.3%).
