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

Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition that often affects psychological well-being, with depression, anxiety and reduced quality of life being frequently observed. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the psychological impact of acne and its relationship with clinical severity in the Indian population. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 207 patients, assessing psychological status using established tools. Results showed a positive correlation between acne severity and higher levels of depression, anxiety and poorer quality of life. This research advances knowledge by highlighting the need for integrated care that addresses both the dermatological and psychological aspects of acne.
