Acne vulgaris: advances in pathogenesis and prevention strategies.
Review in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim is to encourage the creation of innovative prevention and treatment measures and to help readers in selecting the most effective ones.
backgroundAcne vulgaris is the most prevalent skin condition of adolescents, affecting approximately 9% of the global population. Patients become more prone to mental and psychological problems because of it. Several strategies have been established to effectively improve acne vulgaris. However, the complexity of its pathogenesis and the limitations of the existing strategies to control it in terms of bacterial resistance, patient compliance, and safety have made the development of new control strategies a hot topic in skin health research.
resultsThis review systematically summarizes the pathogenesis and prevention strategies of acne vulgaris according to the most recent studies. The limitations of the current research on acne vulgaris and future research directions are presented based on the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the existing prevention and treatment strategies.
