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

backgroundAlthough stretch marks are not a medical condition, they are an esthetic defect and can have a negative impact on self-esteem. The causes of stretch marks are mainly hormonal factors, rapid weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, and genetic factors. The aim of this study was to assess the expression level of markers of angiogenesis (CD31 MATERIALS AND

methodsThe material for the study consisted of 28 skin sections (14 skin samples with striae and 14 healthy skin samples) collected from Caucasian women during plastic surgery. Immunohistochemical reactions were performed using antibodies to CD31, CD34 and podoplanin, and were evaluated using light microscopy. The absolute number of vessels in the field of view was counted.

resultsImmunohistochemical reactions showed the presence of mature (CD31

conclusionThese preliminary data suggest that vascular remodeling in striae may involve the lymphatic compartment more than the blood microvasculature. Larger studies incorporating lesion stage, clinical correlates, and additional functional markers are warranted to clarify the contribution of (lymph)angiogenesis to striae pathogenesis and to inform aesthetic and cosmetology-oriented interventions.
