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

Air pollution is a widespread environmental issue, with substantial global implications for human health. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to air pollution exacerbates various inflammatory skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or acne. Furthermore, air pollutants are associated with accelerated skin aging, hair loss, and skin cancer. The aim of this review is to elucidate the current understanding of the impact of air pollution on skin health, emphasizing the underlying mechanisms involved and existing therapeutic and cosmetic interventions available to prevent or mitigate these effects. A pivotal factor in the harmful effects of air pollution is the formation of reactive oxygen species and the resulting oxidative stress. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathway also substantially contributes to mediating the effects of air pollutants on various skin conditions. Moreover, air pollutants can disrupt the skin barrier function and trigger inflammation. Consequently, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory therapies, along with treatments designed to restore the skin barrier function, have the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollutants on skin health.
