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
backgroundSensitive skin (SS) is a syndrome in which neurosensory disorders accompany epidermal barrier dysfunction. However, it is not yet clear how high anxiety levels affect the biophysical parameters of the skin in patients with SS.
objectivesWe aimed to investigate the relationship between anxiety levels and facial neurosensitivity, the erythema index, sebum content, and sensitive skin scale scores in individuals with sensitive skin.
methodsThe study was carried out on 35 individuals with SS and 40 without SS over three months. In the study, a questionnaire to detect the presence of sensitive skin, the sensitive skin scale for sensitive skin severity, the lactic acid sting test (LAST) to show facial neurosensitivity, a Mexameter for erythema index measurement, and a Sebumeter for sebum content measurement were used. In addition, the anxiety levels of the patient and control groups were measured using the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS).
resultsWhile the HADS-Anxiety scores were found to be significantly higher in patients with sensitive skin, there was no significant difference in the HADS-Depression scores. Moreover, a strong positive correlation was found between the HADS-Anxiety scores and the erythema index in patients with sensitive skin.
conclusionsSensitive skin is a disorder that can sometimes occur without any dermatological examination findings. In particular, the sensations of the patients, along with their anxiety levels, are essential parameters that should be evaluated in the approach to patients with sensitive skin.
