Impact of Leave-on Skin Care Products on the Preservation of Skin Microbiome: An Exploration of Ecobiological Approach.
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 4 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: Skincare products are used daily to maintain a healthy skin, although their skin microbiome impact is still poorly known. Preserving the natural resources and mechanisms of the skin ecosystem is essential, and a novel approach based on these premises, called ecobiology, has recently emerged in skincare. We evaluated the impact on the skin microbiome of three types of leave-on face skincare products: a hydrophilic solution, a micellar solution, and an oil-in-water emulsion. Patients and Methods: Samples for microbial profiling were obtained from 20 Caucasian females twenty-four hours and four days following daily application of the skincare products and compared to an untreated area. The bacterial diversity and the abundance of the skin microbiome were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing using an Illumina MiSeq platform. Results: Our results confirmed the skin microbiome diversity and the prevalence of Conclusion: These preliminary results demonstrate for the first time that three types of leave-on face skincare products have no impact on the human skin microbiome and can be considered to be "microbiome friendly".
