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

Purpose: Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment may cause transient erythema, dryness, and barrier dysfunction, highlighting the need for effective postprocedural care. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a fibronectin-containing skincare regimen in restoring skin barrier function and relieving these IPL-related manifestations. Patients and Methods: In this 28-day, split-face study, 32 healthy female participants undergoing IPL treatment applied a fibronectin-containing serum to one side of the face and a control serum to the opposite side. Skin hydration, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), erythema, and radiance were evaluated at baseline, immediately post-IPL, and on days 3, 7, and 28. Results: Compared to the control, the fibronectin-treated side showed significantly greater improvements in skin hydration (P < 0.01) and significantly lower TEWL on days 3 (P < 0.05), 7 (P < 0.01), and 28 (P < 0.01). By days 7 and 28, skin radiance and erythema also improved more significantly (P < 0.01). Both dermatologist and participant assessments confirmed the superior efficacy of the fibronectin serum. No adverse events were rePorted. Conclusion: Post-IPL aPPlication of a fibronectin-containing serum effectively imProves skin hydration, reduces barrier dysfunction and erythema, and enhances radiance with good tolerability. These findings suPPort its Potential utility in Post-IPL skincare regimens.
