Clinical Evaluation Indicators and Efficacy Assessment Methods in Acne: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of inflammation research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 is a chronic inflammatory disorder of hair follicles and sebaceous glands and is among the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide. There are many clinical studies on acne, with numerous evaluation indicators and methods for evaluating efficacy, which vary by country and region. Over the years, these evaluation indicators and efficacy assessment methods have been modified and refined by researchers to better reflect advances in contemporary medicine. We systematically searched the domestic and international databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), for literature on clinical studies of acne, acne evaluation indicators and acne efficacy assessment methods. We compiled representative evaluation indicators from different periods and traced those that have remained in use to their earliest sources, comparing their development and modifications over the years. Ten experts in the field of acne from the authors' institution were organized to screen and vote on relevant indicators and to assess the respective advantages and disadvantages of selected indicators. Based on the frequency of occurrence of relevant indicators and expert opinions, this article comprehensively reviews and summarizes internationally influential and widely used acne assessment indicators and specific efficacy evaluation applications, providing detailed application references for researchers.
