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

objectiveTo develop an AI framework that combines genetic, phenotypic, and lifestyle data for profiling skin-health patterns and generating hypothesis-supporting summaries for potential decision support. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: A dataset of 5,254 individuals integrates six genes (FLG, AQP3, MMP-1, MMP-3, SOD2, GPX), six phenotype severities, and 20+ lifestyle factors. Mutation burden and interactions are tested by ANOVA. K-modes clustering identifies four interpretable dermatological profiles within the cohort and is embedded in leakage-free nested cross-validation (train-only selection; test labels from training centroids). Subtypes are predicted from genetics plus lifestyle using an XGBoost (XGB) classifier; explainability uses gain, permutation importance, and SHAP contributions aggregated across outer folds.

resultsFour subtypes are identified. Mutation burden differed across phenotypes (ANOVA, [Formula: see text]). Interactions are observed for AQP3[Formula: see text]Winter[Formula: see text]Dryness, GPX[Formula: see text]Medication[Formula: see text]Pigmentation, and MMP-3[Formula: see text]City Living[Formula: see text]Redness. Nested-CV prediction achieves [Formula: see text] accuracy with macro-F[Formula: see text] and macro-recall [Formula: see text]. This outperformed unimodal baselines and improved generalization across all folds in practice. Drivers are stable across folds and included scrub usage, stress, sleep, low water intake, menopause, and camouflage habits, alongside oxidative-stress and MMP genes.

conclusionIntegrating genomic susceptibility with modifiable exposures enables robust, interpretable skin-profile prediction and highlights actionable targets for stratified counseling beyond genetic predisposition.
