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.
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
introductionRedundancy of psychological comorbidities in acne vulgaris may contribute to disturbed eating attitude.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate a possible relationship between acne vulgaris and disturbed eating attitude.
methodsOne hundred acne patients and 86 healthy volunteers evaluated by the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90) and possible indication of disordered eating using the Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40) and Eating Disorders Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q).
resultsMean EAT-40 score was significantly higher in acne group (24.1±17.4) compared to control group (14.2±9.0) (P=0.001). Global score of EDE-Q and all subscores were statistically higher in acne group (for each, P=0.001). The proportion of participants whose meaningful scores for Restraint Eating and Weight Concern subscores of EDE-Q was significantly higher in the patient group compared to the control group (P=0.003 and P=0.034, respectively). Obsessive-compulsive and Depression subscores of SCL-90-R among acne patients had meaningful EAT-40 scores that were statistically higher compared to those had EAT-40 scores <30 (P=0.030 and P=0.006, respectively).
conclusionBecause of higher mortality and morbidity rates, clinicians should screen acne patients for possible disordered eating, with particular attention to those with obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression.
