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
Objective: To investigate suitable methods and efficacy for establishing a melasma animal model under natural high-altitude conditions (Lhasa City, 3650 m) using three approaches: the commonly used progesterone injection plus UV lamp irradiation (Model Ⅰ), and our research group's novel methods of progesterone injection plus natural light irradiation (Model Ⅱ) and natural light irradiation alone (Model Ⅲ). The goal is to provide experimental technical support for subsequent basic research. Methods: Twenty female SPF Kunming mice, aged 6-8 weeks and weighing 18-22 g, were selected in the plateau environment. The mice were randomly divided into four groups: progesterone injection plus UV lamp irradiation (Model Ⅰ), progesterone injection plus natural light irradiation (Model Ⅱ), natural light irradiation alone (Model Ⅲ), and a control group (Control), with five mice per group. The apparent status of mice in each group was observed. From days 29 to 40 after modeling, skin physiological parameters of all mice were measured every 2 days, including erythema index (E), melanin (M), skin type angle (ITA), skin lightness (L), redness (a), yellowness (b), and stratum corneum moisture content (CM). After 40 days of modeling, the following biochemical indicators were measured in serum, liver tissue homogenate (LTH), and skin tissue homogenate (STH) from each group: malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), tyrosinase (TYR), and other biochemical indicators. Correlation analysis was performed between skin physiological parameters and biochemical indicators (based on Model group Ⅰ data). Results: Compared with the Control group, the skin irradiation sites in the three Model groups showed dryness and marked hyperpigmentation. Mice in the Model groups also showed blunted responses, wet bedding, increased food intake, and increased urination, while the Control group showed no skin lesions. Skin physiological parameter results indicated that CM values in Model groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ were lower than those in the Control group ( Conclusion: Model Ⅰ demonstrated superior modeling efficacy, while Models Ⅱ and Ⅲ remained incompletely stabilized.
