Impact of skin care on body image of aging people: A quasi-randomized pilot trial.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Aim: Support for various activities of daily living is essential for maintaining the health of residents in nursing homes. Although aging people who move to nursing homes often change their skin care habits, how these changes impact aging adults' social and mental well-being remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of facial skin care on aging residents' self-body image, self-esteem, well-being, depressive symptoms and social cognitive function by a quasi-randomized controlled pilot trial in Japanese nursing homes. Method: Thirty-seven older adult women living in nursing homes took part in this quasi-randomized controlled pilot trial. Eighteen participants applied a skincare gel-cream to the face twice a day for three months, while 19 participants used no skincare products. Self-body image and psychological measures such as the Cutaneous Body Image Scale (CBIS), the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES), Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGCMS) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were used in each nursing home to evaluate the pre- and post-treatment scores. In addition, cognitive items of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were evaluated as social cognitive function at pre- and post-treatment. Results: There was a significant different change of the Cutaneous Body Image Scale scores (p = 0.045, r = 0.34) after three months between skin care group and control group. Although there were no clear significant differences in other psychological assessments, there was a higher number of them with positive changes in the skin care group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Skin care may help improve cutaneous self-body image and positive emotion in aging female residents of Japanese nursing homes.
