Optimal Use Recommendations and Stewardship Principles with Oral Antibiotics in Acne Vulgaris Management: An Expert Consensus Panel.
Review in The Journal of clinical and aesthetic 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
backgroundThe purpose of this meeting was for an expert panel to analyze current literature and provide updated consensus statements regarding the optimal management, safety, and efficacy of oral antibiotics in acne vulgaris (AV).
methodsA thorough literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify English-language original research articles evaluating the use of oral antibiotics for AV. An expert panel of 8 dermatologists, specializing in the management of AV, convened to assess the findings and develop statements regarding oral antibiotics for AV. Each statement was approved through a modified Delphi process, and a strength of recommendation was assigned based on the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT) criteria.
resultsA total of 544 articles regarding the safety, efficacy, and management of oral antibiotics for AV were identified through the literature search. Following a rigorous screening process, 17 articles were deemed relevant to the research questions and provided to the panelists for review prior to the roundtable discussion. The panel reached unanimous agreement on 10 consensus statements and recommendations, assigning seven a strength of A, one a strength of B, and two a strength of C.
conclusionThe expert panel concluded that oral antibiotics can be used in the treatment of moderate-to-severe AV, oral antibiotics should be combined with topical treatments, and duration of use should be determined based on individualized patient care. Tetracyclines are recognized options for AV therapy, with sarecycline considered a preferred option for AV due to its targeted mode of action, unique ribosomal binding properties, narrow spectrum of antibiotic activity, lower bacterial resistance risk, and overall better tolerability. Additionally, tetracyclines should be avoided in pregnancy and in young children.
