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

Purpose: There is a growing interest in nutraceutical supplements for ameliorating skin disorders owing to their multifaceted role and tolerability. In this study, we investigated the safety and efficacy of a unique herbal formulation (Kūlaris Patients and Methods: In a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study design, 100 male and female subjects (18-40 years) with mild to severe acne were allocated (1:1 ratio) to receive 450 mg capsules of either Kūlaris or placebo once daily for 12 weeks. Results: Kūlaris treatment markedly reduced acne severity, with the majority of subjects achieving success in the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score (odds ratio = 7.88, Conclusion: This study provides compelling evidence to support the potential use of Kūlaris as a therapeutic supplement or an adjunctive therapy to treatment of acne vulgaris.
