The Effectiveness of Pyruvic Acid Peeling in Improving the Quality of Life of Patients with Acne Vulgaris.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Improving the quality of life (QoL) of patients with various chronic diseases has become a challenge and priority of contemporary medicine. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of pyruvic acid peeling on the QoL of patients with acne vulgaris. The study group consisted of 200 young patients (mean age 23.04 ± 4.71) with acne vulgaris of mainly mild or moderate severity. Basic data about the patient were collected using a self-reported questionnaire. The assessment of QoL was carried out using standardized questionnaires: CADI (Cardiff Acne Disability Index), DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index), SWLS (Satisfaction With Life Scale), and BDI (Beck Depression Inventory). The cosmetic intervention consisted of chemical peeling with 35% pyruvic acid for acne lesions on the body and included four series repeated at 7-day intervals. This study demonstrated that acne vulgaris impairs the quality of life of young people. There were no significant differences between the severity of acne and the lifestyles of the subjects. The applied cosmetic procedure significantly decreased the severity of the acne and improved the quality of life of the patients.
