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

Introduction: Hybrid and gel manicures which gain popularity raise concerns about potential health risks. Aim: This review explores safety and health implications of hybrid and gel manicures. Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar following PRISMA guidelines. Results: Twenty eight studies published between 2011 and 2024 addressed nail plate changes, allergic and non-allergic diseases, UV-related cancer risks, and hand hygiene implications. The most common side effects included nail brittleness and splitting. Allergic contact dermatitis was reported in six publications, while non-allergic conditions included paronychia and Conclusions: UV-cured manicures pose limited health risks. Further research is needed to establish safe application guidelines, UV exposure limits and infection-related considerations.
