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

backgroundA healthy skin barrier is essential to protect against the entry of harmful substances or the loss of internal fluids, especially water and electrolytes. Various aggressions are known to weaken the skin barrier.

aimsTo evaluate single or multiple applications of a serum formula designed to mitigate skin barrier dysfunction and improve recovery after exposure to three different external aggressions (including one cumulative aggression under intense conditions). PATIENTS AND

methodsFive single-blind, controlled, intra-individual clinical studies in healthy subjects evaluated the effect of serum formula vs. untreated skin after aggression with harsh cleanser, emery paper abrasion, or tape stripping followed by exposure to 4°C or 40°C. Skin barrier function was assessed by transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin pH.

resultsAfter harsh cleanser aggression, significant improvements in pH recovery and TEWL were observed after serum application, vs. untreated control, indicating significantly faster skin barrier recovery. Similarly, after tape stripping followed by intense cold or hot conditions, barrier function recovery was also significantly faster with an application of serum versus untreated control. In addition, serum-treated skin was more resistant against abrasion after serum treatment compared to the untreated control.

conclusionsThe serum formula, containing a unique combination of seven short and long saccharides and bacterial fractions, helped repair and strengthen the skin barrier to protect against abrasion. Taken together, these studies showed improved skin barrier recovery after exposure to different types of aggression (harsh cleanser or cumulative aggression by tape stripping followed by intense cold or hot conditions).
