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
Introduction: Acne vulgaris (AV) affects over 85% of adolescents and often persists into adulthood. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mild to moderate acne on body image, self-esteem, depression, and potential body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in adolescents. Material and methods: 170 acne patients and 79 healthy controls, aged 12-17, were recruited. Acne severity was assessed using the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Participants completed the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), Body Image Questionnaire (BIQ), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and Turkish Acne Quality of Life Index (TAQoLI). Results: Significant negative correlations were found between acne severity and both quality of life ( Conclusions: Mild to moderate acne negatively impacts psychological well-being in adolescents, emphasising the importance of addressing not only physical symptoms but also psychosocial effects. Multidisciplinary approaches integrating dermatological and psychological care are recommended.
