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

objectiveSensitive skin syndrome (SSS) affects individuals from all ethnic groups. However, studies across different populations remain limited, despite recognised differences between populations. Thus, we examined SSS in Thai and Polish subjects, assessing the tolerance and efficacy of a dermo-cosmetic product in both populations.

methodsThai participants were involved in a 28-day open-label study, while Polish subjects took part in a 56-day double-blind, randomised study comparing the product with a control cream. Clinical and functional signs were evaluated, alongside quality of life (QoL) using the Burden of Sensitive Skin (BoSS) questionnaire.

resultsThe product was well tolerated in both groups over time, leading to significant improvements in all clinical and functional signs (p < 0.05 to p < 0.001) and enhancing QoL (p < 0.005 in Thailand; p < 0.001 in Poland). At baseline, Polish subjects exhibited greater redness and higher BoSS scores to questions relating to visual signs (p < 0.001). Conversely, Thai participants reported more pronounced tingling, pain and itching, along with higher BoSS scores relating to sensory symptoms (p < 0.001).

conclusionsThe study highlights differences existing in the perception of SSS symptoms between a Thai and Polish population and demonstrates that the dermo-cosmetic cream effectively alleviates SSS symptoms and improves QoL in both ethnic groups.
