Clinical Parameters Involved in Skin Tone Perception of Asian Population.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimSkin tone contributes critically to facial attractiveness; skin aging yellowness has become a predominant aging and skin tone concern in the Asian population. However, the clinical parameters underlying the visual perception of skin yellowness remain elusive. This study explored the relevant clinical parameters and exposome factors influencing the perception of skin yellowness.
methodsPerceived facial skin yellowness was evaluated through three observation and rating tests involving 170 female participants. Standardized lighting and screen settings ensured consistent evaluations of randomized full face and skin-tone-adjusted images. The correlation of yellowness observation and clinical parameters was identified, helping to decode the parameters that determine perception.
resultsThe pair test showed that not only b* but also L* and skin diffused reflection determined yellowness perception commonly across age. Rating test on artificial face images confirmed the importance of both b* and L*. A preliminary model on colorimetric parameters was derived: Perceived Yellowness = 0.42b* - 0.2L* + 9.01. Further pair test demonstrated that perceived skin yellowness varied seasonally, suggesting an influence of sun exposure.
conclusionThis study reveals the correlation of skin yellowness perception and clinical parameters, especially the contribution of relevant colorimetric parameters. From a third-person perspective, b*, L* and diffused reflection are key determinants of perceived skin yellowness. The observed seasonal variation in yellowness perception indicated a perceivable "seasonal skin yellowing." The findings provided new insights for developing treatments for skin aging yellowness, photoprotection and modulation of colorimetric parameters (L* and b*) and optical parameter (reflection) are highlighted as important clinical targets.
