The impact of adolescent acne vulgaris on CDLQI and DFIS: What does it depend on?
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveAcne vulgaris is a chronic and common disease among adolescents. The effects of acne vulgaris on the caregiver's quality of life and its relationship to patient's quality of life have been seldom studied. This study aims to investigate impact of adolescent acne vulgaris on the patients' and their caregivers' quality of life and to evaluate the relationship between these two variables.
methodsAcne vulgaris patients aged between 10 and 18 years and their caregivers were included in this prospective study. CDLQI (Children Dermatologic Quality of Life Index) and DFIS (Dermatological Family Impact Scale) questionnaires were used to assess the impact of acne vulgaris on the quality of life of patients and caregivers. SPSS version 21 was used for the statistical analysis; Spearman correlation test and Mann Whitney U test were used.
resultsThis study has shown a significant correlation between DFIS and CDLQI, between severity of acne and CDLQI, and between the previous use of systemic antibiotics and DFIS. There is no relationship of age, sex, disease duration, number of siblings, amount of money spent and previous treatment modalities to CDLQI. There is no relationship between age, sex, acne severity, disease duration, number of children and amount of money spent on DFIS.
conclusionAcne vulgaris not only has an impact on the patient's quality of life but also on the caregiver's quality of life, which in turn affects the patient's quality of life.
