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

Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disorder linked to systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysregulation, including metabolic syndrome (MetS). This review examines the shared mechanisms underlying vitiligo and MetS, highlighting oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and lipid dysregulation as central contributors. A systematic analysis of 23 studies found association between vitiligo and MetS, though variations exist based on the disease type, severity, and duration. Emerging therapies, such as statins and thiazolidinediones demonstrate potential for managing vitiligo and its metabolic risks by targeting oxidative and inflammatory pathways. While animal and
