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

introductionThis study aimed to investigate the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome on various aspects of acne exacerbation. Additionally, we aimed to explore the risk factors for acne exacerbation after COVID-19 syndrome.

methodsA total of 211 subjects with acne were enrolled, and their key demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors were recorded. They were asked whether acne exacerbation occurred after COVID-19 syndrome, as well as the latency of exacerbation, the exacerbation location, and the form of skin lesions. The risk factors were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazard regression model. Overall, 41.2% of cases reported exacerbation of acne after COVID-19 syndrome. Age was found to be a protective factor. Additionally, sufficient fruit intake may slightly prevent exacerbation. For participants engaging in daily physical exercise, the likelihood of exacerbation was significantly increased after COVID-19 syndrome.

resultsThe probability of exacerbation was significantly higher if an acne itch was present. Patients who experienced exacerbation in the chin area were more likely to develop acne-induced anxiety. Males had a higher risk of aggravation of the cyst form. Interestingly, those with lower education levels were more likely to have aggravation in the right cheek after COVID-19 syndrome. Moreover, physical exercise might prevent aggravation in the front or back areas.

conclusionFinally, fish intake of ≥240 g per week was related to the aggravation of the hard nodule form. In conclusion, age and adequate fruit intake may play a protective role, while acne itch and daily exercise may be risk factors for acne exacerbation.
