Nail Peeling with Glycolic Acid 50%: A Prospective Study of 20 Cases.
Article in Skin appendage disorders, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSurface abnormalities of the nail may be due to nail diseases or chemical abuse. So, every nail plate change does not require medical treatment. The aim of our study was to support the benefit of glycolic acid (GA) in both pathological conditions and dry, discolored nails due to cosmetics.
methodsA prospective single open label uncontrolled study is conducted in our department from January until April 2017. We divided our cases into 2 groups: G1 (consequences of cosmetics) and G2 (pathological conditions). In G1, we used 1-2 coat of GA 50% in 1-2 sitting at weekly intervals, but we needed multiple sittings (6-12 weeks) in G2 with 2-4 coats.
resultsWe have collected 20 cases: 12 in G1 and 8 in G2. In G1, 8 patients had good response. In G2, 6 had good response. Adverse effects were tolerable.
conclusionGood response in G1 was also noted in the Indian report. The improvement in the chemotherapy side effect led us to widen the sample in order to have more credible results. GA 50% peels can offer aesthetically better looking nails. However, larger studies with a longer follow-up are required to validate the results.
