The Causal Relationship Between Skin Microbiota and Facial Aging: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 aging is a complex process influenced by environmental factors, genetics, and lifestyle. The contribution of the skin microbiota to this process remains poorly understood.
methodsThis two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was performed using genome-wide genotype data from the UK Biobank and previously published studies on skin microbiota. The primary approach for MR analyses included inverse-variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger regression, simple mode, weighted median, and weighted mode methods. Sensitivity analyses were performed to assess heterogeneity and pleiotropy, and reverse-direction MR analyses were performed to evaluate potential reverse causation.
resultsThe MR analysis identified ten skin microbiotas with potential causal relationships with facial aging. Protective skin microbiotas included Genus Finegoldia, ASV011 [Staphylococcus (unc.)], ASV008 [Staphylococcus (unc.)], phylum Firmicutes, Family Rhodobacteraceae, and ASV021 [Micrococcus (unc.)], which were negatively associated with facial aging. Conversely, Order Pseudomonadales, Family Moraxellaceae, ASV039 [Acinetobacter (unc.)], and phylum Bacteroidetes were positively associated with facial aging, indicating a risk factor for accelerated aging. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings, and reverse-direction MR analyses did not suggest any reverse causation.
conclusionThis study identified specific skin microbial that may influence facial aging and offered new insights into the rejuvenation strategies.
