Skin Microbiome in Health and Disease: Mechanisms and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies.
Review in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The skin microbiome plays a vital role in maintaining skin homeostasis by regulating immune responses, preserving barrier integrity, and inhibiting pathogen colonization. This review systematically explores the mechanisms underlying its dysregulation in conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and impaired wound healing, with a focus on key factors including microbial over colonization, diminished diversity, and host immune dysregulation. The influence of microbial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids and porphyrins, is also examined. We further evaluate emerging microbial-targeted therapeutic strategies, including live biotherapeutic products, skin microbiota transplantation, epigenetic and metabolic interventions, and precision antimicrobial polymers. These approaches aim to restore microbial balance rather than achieve broad-spectrum sterilization, representing a significant shift in the treatment paradigm for cutaneous diseases. In contrast to previous reviews, this article places special emphasis on the mechanisms of multi-organ interactions within the gut-skin axis and discusses the potential of integrating multi-omics technologies and artificial intelligence to advance the clinical translation of personalized microbial therapies, thereby providing a forward-looking perspective on the field.
