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

Background: Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, affects patients' physical health. The risk of anxiety disorders in patients with rosacea may be 2-3 times higher than that in the general population. However, the key factors influencing anxiety in rosacea remain unclear, and whether alleviating the subjective symptoms of rosacea can further improve treatment outcomes and quality of life requires further investigation. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 482 newly diagnosed rosacea patients (West China Hospital) was conducted, with grouping into anxiety/non-anxiety groups for risk factor analysis. After that, a 6-week sub-analysis compared 64 patients receiving conventional carvedilol therapy vs. 32 receiving carvedilol + subjective symptom-targeted treatment, using univariate/multivariate logistic regression and pre-/post-treatment symptom/quality-of-life/psychological status comparisons. Results: Patients with erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR) had significantly higher Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety (HADS-A) scores ( Conclusion: Subjective symptoms are independently associated with rosacea-related anxiety. Targeted treatment addressing subjective symptoms is associated with improvements in both overall clinical outcomes and psychological status, highlighting the necessity of systematic assessment and management of subjective symptoms in clinical practice.
