Association Between Skin Acid Mantle, Natural Moisturizing Factors, and Antibacterial Activity Against
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: The skin has evolved a system to prevent pathogenic microorganism colonization and infection. This study examined the role of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) and skin pH on Study Population and Methods: A survey study with 82 female participants was performed. Participants maintained their daily hygiene routine, except for refraining from using leave-on products on their forearms on the day of the test. Skin sampling was performed using adhesive tapes. An ex vivo method was developed to study the viability and growth of Results: Heterogeneity of Conclusion: The results indicate that PCA, one of the NMFs in human skin, plays an important role in regulating the human skin acid mantle in vivo and contributes to antibacterial activity against
