Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Although the development of acne is influenced by a range of factors, emerging research suggests that dietary choices may also play a role in acne management. The Mediterranean diet is an antioxidant-rich, low-glycemic diet with preventive benefit against a range of chronic illnesses. We aimed to investigate the adherence to Mediterranean diet in acne patients and its association with disease severity. Methods: In this case-control study, 105 patients with acne and 105 control individuals were enrolled and their clinical and demographic characteristics were assessed. A valid Persian version of a 14-item questionnaire called the Mediterranean diet adherence screener (MEDAS) was used to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Results: We did not find any significant difference regarding adherence to Mediterranean diet between patients and control group ( Conclusion: Our results suggest beneficial associations between certain aspects of the Mediterranean diet and milder acne severity. Adherence to this healthy dietary pattern may represent a practical adjuvant approach for acne management.
