Ceramide Metabolic Pathways and Their Regulation in Adolescent Acne Vulgaris.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Ceramides constitute approximately 50% of the lipid mass in the stratum corneum and are essential for epidermal permeability barrier function. In acne vulgaris, barrier disruption is accompanied by altered ceramide composition, yet the molecular mechanisms that connect acne-associated signals to specific changes in ceramide metabolism remain incompletely understood. This review integrates evidence from lipidomic profiling, enzymatic pathway characterization, and inflammatory signaling studies to examine how ceramide biosynthesis and turnover are modulated in acne-prone skin. Particular attention is directed to the elongation of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and their incorporation into ceramides by ceramide synthase 3 (CerS3). In cultured keratinocytes,
