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

Acne vulgaris is a chronic disease that occurs in the pilosebaceous units and ranks eighth in the global prevalence of all diseases. In its severe forms such as pustules, cysts, and nodules, acne can lead to permanent scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which are often difficult to reverse in the short term and significantly affect patients' psychological well-being and social interactions. Although a variety of pharmacological treatments are available, including retinoids, antibiotics, anti-androgens, benzoyl peroxide, and corticosteroids, the high recurrence rate and limited efficacy in scar prevention highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Electrospinning technology has recently gained attention for fabricating nanofibrous patches with high porosity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. These patches can offer antibacterial activity, absorb exudates, and provide mechanical protection, making them promising platforms for acne wound care. This review first outlines the pathophysiology of acne and the biological mechanisms underlying scar formation. We then present an overview of electrospinning techniques, commonly used polymers, and recent advancements in the field. Finally, we explore the potential of electrospun nanofibers loaded with mesenchymal stem cells or exosomes as next-generation therapeutic systems aimed at promoting scarless acne healing.
