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

The use of cosmetic products is ubiquitous around the world. This article reviews the medical literature documenting adverse effects associated with cosmetic product use. An extensive, nonexhaustive literature search was conducted using the PubMed database. Studies reporting adverse effects from cosmetic products were included, encompassing case reports, case series, clinical trials and epidemiological studies. Contact dermatitis is the most common adverse effect associated with cosmetic use, affecting approximately 1-5% of the general population. Additional effects, including respiratory sensitization, photosensitization, workplace exposures and issues specific to pregnancy/lactation, are discussed. The clinical significance of these effects remains poorly understood, particularly regarding long-term exposure and cumulative health impacts. Cosmetic usage can result in a spectrum of adverse effects that represent significant clinical and public health concerns.
