Article in Turkish archives of pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesStriae distensae (SD) are characterized by erythematous or atrophic bands, which are common during adolescence and can adversely impact the psychosocial status of the affected patients. Our aim in this study is to evaluate the quality of life of children and adolescents diagnosed with SD.
methodsThis prospective observational study included 50 adolescents with SD. The gender and the age of the patients were noted. Quality of life was evaluated with the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI).
resultsThe present study included 50 patients with SD. Female patients were more common than male patients, with frequencies of 58% and 42%, respectively. The median values of the total scores of the CDLQI were 9 (0-21) in females and 4 (0-12) in males. The difference of 5 units between them was statistically significant (P = .003). The age groups of the participants were 9-12 and 13-16. There were 15 (30%) patients in the 9-12 age range and 35 (70%) patients in the 13-16 age range. The median values of the total score of the CDLQI were 7 (0-21) in the 9-12 age group, and 6 (0-20) in the 13-16 age group. Total score did not differ significantly between groups (P = .679).
conclusionSD are common during adolescence and affect the quality of life. Therefore, this should not be considered only as a cosmetic problem. Patients should also be evaluated in terms of the psychosocial aspects.
