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
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that lipids could play a role in suicidal ideation and the pathogenesis of psychiatric diseases. The present study aims to investigate the correlation between variations in serum lipid concentration, a side effect of isotretinoin (ITT), psychiatric symptoms, and suicidal ideation in acne vulgaris patients under ITT treatment. Methods: Thestudy was completed with 41 acne patients. Patients were analyzed with the sociodemographic and clinical data form, Beck depression inventory (BDI), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale (BSS), and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) at the beginning and on the third month of treatment. Lipid levels [serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL)] were measured using the automatic chemistry analyzer (Beckman AU-5800). Serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) values were estimated with the Friedewald formula. Results: A statistically significant correlation was determined between the BSS scores and TC, TG, and LDL parameters at the beginning of treatment and the control date. Thus, it was determined that there was a negative weak correlation between BSS and TC parameters ( Conclusion: The present study findings revealed that serum lipid levels could be associated with psychiatric side effects in patients under ITT treatment. But, this must not be the only way to detect the risk when we consider that serum lipid levels that have been associated with suicidal ideation, depression, and several psychiatric diseases have the potential to be an important indicator. In this context, our preliminary results open the doors to a new perspective in this regard, using the concept of blood lipid optimization. These findings need to be considered preliminary and supported by large samples.
