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
Objective: To evaluate self-esteem in voluntary depigmented patients. Patients and method: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study at the Dermatology and Venereology Department of the Treichville University Hospital Centre (CHU) in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) from July 2017 to January 2018 and it included 150 black African patients. The non-probability purposive sampling method was used. To assess self-esteem, we applied the Rosenberg scale. Results: (98%) of those surveyed were female and aged between 15 and 35 (76.70%). One depigmented person in two was single (53.30%). More than half(58.70%) said they had a tanned complexion before using lightening products and were satisfied with their physical appearance in 76% of cases. The main reasons for using depigmenting products were to improve physical appearance(80%) and to repair a physical defect(28%). The results of the Rosenberg global self-esteem scale showed that more than three quarters of the respondents (79.30%) had average to very high self-esteem. Conclusion: Voluntary skin depigmentation in black sub-Saharan Africans does not necessarily reflect a problem with self-esteem, but could be part of a fashionable aesthetic project.
