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

The information on nail product safety is currently limited, but has been increasing in recent years. This increasing research has shown that some ingredients in nail products are hazardous and can lead to both dermatologic and systemic diseases. This risk is present for nail product consumers and is increased for nail technicians. Another concern with the nail products being used is the mislabeling of ingredients. This paper aims to assess the current literature on nail product safety, promote consumer safety, and encourage the involvement of dermatologists in promoting safe nail product use.
