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
backgroundFacial erythema, a prominent characteristic of rosacea, causes concern to both the patient and doctor. In clinical practice, commonly used erythema severity subjective assessment tools lack objectivity and are less comprehensive. Even with images taken by the VISIA MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients with rosacea were enrolled and assessed for the clinical severity of their illness using various stools-the standard grading systems (SGS) for rosacea, investigator's global assessment (IGA), and clinician's erythema assessment (CEA). Facial images in the red area mode of the VISIA
resultsThis study included 201 patients (195 females and 6 males). The relative intensity of redness was positively correlated to the SGS, IGA, and CEA scores (0.688, 0.725, and 0.718, respectively) (p < 0.001). The percentage of erythema area was positively correlated to the SGS, IGA, and CEA scores (0.615, 0.666, and 0.656, respectively) (p < 0.001).
conclusionWe demonstrated a more objective and precise method of assessing the severity of facial erythema rosacea, which could comprehensively assess the severity by both the area and intensity of facial erythema.
