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

backgroundAcne is a prevalent skin condition affecting individuals of various ages, with a peak in the 16-24 age group and a rise in adult acne. It significantly impacts patients' lives, both personally and socially, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to management. Dermatologists and esthetic doctors play a crucial role in managing acne and acne-prone skin. The process begins with a thorough consultation involving a comprehensive medical history, clinical and instrumental evaluations to determine the most suitable treatment regimen.

aimsThis article summarizes the latest literature evidence on the esthetic medicine management and dermocosmetics application for acne-prone skin.

methodsThe authors performed a literature review on selected topics to highlight the role of dermocosmetics, as they come in diverse formulations, featuring single or combined active ingredients with various properties such as sebum control, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and keratolytic effects.

resultsDermocosmetics has been categorized as daily-use products (e.g., moisturizers), short-term use products (e.g., "SOS" products), cleansers, and sunscreens, and the main evidence on their use has been summarized.

conclusionsAcne management requires a personalized and multifaceted approach, encompassing lifestyle counseling, pharmacological treatments, and tailored dermocosmetic regimens. By addressing the diverse needs of patients with acne and acne-prone skin, healthcare professionals can effectively improve their quality of life and well-being.
