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

introductionRosacea, a chronic skin disease characterized by facial redness, is believed to involve inflammation and angiogenesis in its pathogenesis. Endocan and endoglin, biomarkers associated with vascular and inflammatory processes, might play roles in rosacea and cardiovascular comorbidities.

objectivesThis study aimed to assess serum levels of endocan and endoglin in individuals with rosacea and the function of these biomarkers in indicating comorbidities associated with rosacea.

methodsA total of forty-four patients diagnosed with rosacea and thirty-three healthy controls were included in this case-control study. The endocan and endoglin levels in serum samples from both groups were measured.

resultsNo significant difference in endocan and endoglin levels was observed between the patient and control groups. However, their levels were associated with various clinical features, including symptom and disease severity. A notable association was identified between waist circumference, body mass index, and endoglin levels. However, this association was not evident for endocan.

conclusionsThis study suggests endocan and endoglin may play roles in rosacea pathogenesis, with endoglin potentially associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
