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

backgroundRosacea is an inflammatory and chronic skin condition that may be affected by many factors. The purpose of this study is to compare the level of vitamin D in two groups of cases (suffering from rosacea) and controls (healthy).

methodsThis case-control study was conducted in 2022 on 62 patients referred to Sedigheh Tahereh dermatology clinic, Isfahan, Iran. The criteria for entering the case group are to have rosacea based on the updated phenotype-based diagnosis and classification system. Demographic variables such as age and gender as well as vitamin D levels were recorded for both case and control groups.

resultsThe mean of vitamin D level among patients with rosacea (29.9 ± 2.95) was higher than the control group (24.5 ± 2.14), but the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the mean of vitamin D level between rosacea patients and controls in gender or severity subgroups.

conclusionThere is no significant difference in vitamin D levels between patients with rosacea and healthy individuals.
