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
introductionEnthusiasm for manicures is at a high amongst young populations and has led to a growth in nail cosmetology in the last decade. Reviewing the known nail and cutaneous adverse outcomes associated with manicures can improve counseling for safe usage.
aimsTo provide a comprehensive review of cutaneous disorders reported with various types of nail cosmetics, to allow consumers to make informed decisions when choosing a manicure type. In addition, this article promotes cognizance amongst dermatologists of potential causes of dermatologic conditions associated with nail cosmetics.
methodsA literature review of articles from January 2014 to December 2025 was conducted on the PubMed database. A combination including, but not limited to, the following terms was utilized: nails, cosmetics, nail disease, adverse outcomes, or pedicure.
resultsThe most common reported adverse outcomes of gel manicures include psoriasiform onychodystrophy, pterygium inversum unguis (PIU), allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), onycholysis, paronychia, pseudo-psoriatic nails, and onychomycosis. The most commonly reported adverse outcomes of acrylic manicures include worn-down nail syndrome, pseudo-psoriatic nails, ACD, onychomycosis, onycholysis, periungual eczema, and pseudo-psoriatic allergic nail dystrophy. Risk factors for adverse outcomes include using ultraviolet (UV) light, at-home manicures, acrylates, and isocyanates.
conclusionWith the increased popularity of manicures, awareness of adverse outcomes associated with manicure types can improve counseling and management. Inclusion of allergens in the baseline allergy patch testing series and caution for photo-protection in at-risk populations should be encouraged.
