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

Predicting skin penetration enhancers (PEs) from numerous terpenes is of interest for the development of the transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) and remains a great challenge. In this study, the stratum corneum (SC) retention abilities of 3 sesquiterpenes and 3 monoterpenes from Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma were compared. The sesquiterpenes included caryophyllene oxide (CPO), δ-cadinene, and β-caryophyllene, while the monoterpenes contained 4-terpineol, β-pinene, and 1,8-cineole. Long-chain sesquiterpenes showed much higher SC-retention abilities than short-chain monoterpenes. The SC-retention abilities of terpenes were directly correlated with their disturbance effects on skin-barrier function (
