Illness acceptance among young adults with acne: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: The level of acceptance of acne can have a substantial impact on improving patients' mood and quality of life. Aim: To investigate the level of acne vulgaris acceptance among young patients and its correlation with disease severity, quality of life, and feelings of stigmatization. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 213 young individuals diagnosed with acne. A variety of questionnaires were employed to measure the psychological aspects of the condition, including illness acceptance, quality of life, and feeling of stigmatization. Results: Based on the Global Evaluation Acne (GEA) scale, 45% of participants had mild acne, 31.7% had minimal acne, and 23.3% had moderate acne. The Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) scores ranged from 13 to 40, with a mean of 37.0 ±5.2 points. Males had higher illness acceptance (mean score: 37.7 vs. 36.5 points; Conclusions: The level of acne acceptance depends on gender and the severity of acne lesions. Based on the study results, we hypothesize that an intervention aimed at increasing the level of disease acceptance could improve patients' psychological well-being and ability to cope with the condition.
