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

objectiveTo assess whether the use of different types of facial sunscreen influences the quality of radiographic images and the absorbed radiation dose during radiographic acquisitions.

methodsIn this in vitro study, two types of facial sunscreens (Bioderma

resultsInorganic sunscreen produced images with higher brightness and lower uniformity, with no significant differences in noise. Additionally, this group showed a lower radiation dose (0.50 mGy) compared to the control group (0.60 mGy) and the organic sunscreen (0.58 mGy) (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe inorganic sunscreen altered image quality by increasing brightness and decreasing uniformity, while also reducing the absorbed radiation dose.
