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
Ziyun Ointment, a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, is often applied externally; however, its physiological effects on the skin have not been thoroughly studied. This study aimed to assess the skin parameters of psoriasis patients before and after 12 weeks of Ziyun Ointment application.
methods30 participants were recruited and classified into mild, moderate, and severe. The pre-test and post-test measurements of skin parameters, including melanin and erythema index, stratum corneum lipids, stratum corneum hydration, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), were conducted using the non-invasive Cutometer Dual MPA580.
result80% of the patients improved PASI, and the PASI score was significantly reduced by 2.58 ± 1.35 (
conclusionZiyun Ointment retains the hydration in the skin and reduces the loss of moisture from the skin. We also suggest that Ziyun Ointment be used for at least 12 weeks to observe significant improvements. Ziyun Ointment has a physiological significance in maintaining skin moisture.
