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

Introduction: A randomised controlled clinical trial involving a novel trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel was performed. The experimental group, the placebo group, the staff administering treatments, the persons evaluating intervention results, and the statistical analyst were all blinded. Aim: To assess the efficacy of a novel TCA peel containing urea peroxide 5%, coenzyme Q10 5%, and kojic acid 10% as anti-aging skin therapy for postmenopausal women. Material and methods: Forty-six postmenopausal women at a mean age of 60.63 ±2.6 years were equally and randomly divided into an experimental group (EG; Results: Skin hydration and participants' satisfaction with treatment results measured post-treatment and at month 3 of follow-up were greater in the EG than in the CG. Conclusions: The TCA chemical peel improved facial skin hydration in postmenopausal women, but not skin elasticity. The results of the treatments were rated by the participants as satisfying.Trial Registration no: ISRCTN41899475; doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN41899475.
