Changes in the Skin Microbiome Following Dermatological Procedures: A Scoping Review.
Article in Applied microbiology (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The skin microbiome consists of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mites, which play a crucial role in maintaining skin health and immune function. Imbalances in this microbial community, known as dysbiosis, are implicated in various dermatological conditions. While skincare products are known to influence the skin microbiome, the effects of dermatological procedures have not been extensively studied. Here, we perform a scoping review to outline the studies investigating the impacts of dermatological interventions on the skin microbiome. Phototherapy emerged as the most studied intervention, encompassing UV phototherapy, light therapy, laser therapy, and photodynamic therapy. Chemical interventions, such as chemical peels, micropigmentation, and debridement, have comparatively limited studies describing their impacts on the skin microbiome. To date, no studies have been done on a wide variety of common dermatological procedures such as cryotherapy, skin grafts, and dermabrasion, which may have stronger likelihoods of affecting the skin microbiome. This underscores the need for further research on the influences of dermatological procedures, especially chemical and physical interventions, on the skin microbiome. More comprehensive pre-clinical and clinical studies are essential not only for understanding the long-term consequences of these procedures, but also for optimizing patient outcomes in dermatological care.
