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

Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by diverse symptoms and variable clinical progression, which can significantly impair patients' quality of life and mental health. The exact etiology of rosacea remains elusive. It has been hypothesized that specific microorganisms may trigger symptom onset and play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. Objective: We performed a case-control study to investigate the gut microbiome of rosacea patients compared to controls matched by age, sex in China. Methods: The study cohort comprised eight patients diagnosed with rosacea and eight age- and sex-matched healthy controls residing in Beijing. Metagenomic sequencing was performed using on a llumina Novaseq 6000 platform. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to evaluate the severity of anxiety and depression of rosacea patients. Skindex-16 score was used to assess dermatology-specific health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in patients with rosacea. The clinical evaluation of acne was done using the ECLA score. Results: The rosacea patients showed higher HADS and Skindex-16 score (15.375 ± 1.302 and 46 ± 9.75 respectively) vs healthy controls (3.425 ± 1.308 and 0 respectively). A clear distinction was observed between the rosacea group and the control group, characterized by a significant increase in the abundance of Turicibacter_sp._TJ11, Turicibacter_sp._H121,Turicibacter_sp._TA25,Turicibacter_sp._T129 Conclusions: The gut microbiota in individuals with rosacea displayed changed from that of healthy control. These microbial alterations may contribute to the pathogenesis of rosacea through multiple mechanisms, including impairment of the intestinal barrier function, induction of pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and modulation of neurotransmitter synthesis. By integrating taxonomic shifts with functional alterations, this study provides deeper insights into the gut ecosystem changes associated with systemic inflammation in rosacea.
