1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Highlights Stratum corneum hydration levels are negatively correlated with HbA1c levels and positively correlated with skin surface pH. Individuals with type 2 diabetes display lower levels of stratum corneum hydration. Because low stratum corneum hydration levels can increase circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines, which are linked to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, improvement in stratum corneum hydration can be an alternative approach in the management of type 2 diabetes.
