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.
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
introductionIt is well-established that smoking adversely affects the skin. This study aimed to compare skin properties, skin care product usage patterns, and the status of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and self-evaluated skin quality in active smokers, ex-smokers, and non-smokers.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, Ordu University, Türkiye in 2024, with participants aged 18-65 years. Data were collected through a validated self-administered questionnaire. Categorical data were analyzed using chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests. Intergroup differences were examined using one-way analysis of variance with
resultsThe study included 286 men and 393 women. Active smokers had worse skin quality, with more wrinkles, spots, and pigmentation (p<0.001). E-cigarette users showed poorer skin in the forehead, around the eyes, mustache, mouth, neck, and back (p=0.007-0.034). Hookah use was linked to worse skin and more spots on the back (p=0.004 and 0.009). Average skin quality scores were 25.47 for active smokers, 27.35 for ex-smokers, and 32.1 for non-smokers. Skin quality declined as smoking duration and daily cigarette count increased (p=0.00). Active smokers more frequently received neurotoxin injections and mesotherapy for skin spots (p=0.006 and 0.026).
conclusionsThis study confirms the detrimental effects of smoking - including e-cigarette and hookah use - on skin. These findings may serve as motivation for smoking cessation efforts.
