Sun exposure and protection behaviors in urban and rural long-term melanoma survivors.
Article in Archives of dermatological research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Given the increased risk for another occurrence of melanoma among melanoma survivors, safe sun behaviors are important. Little data exist about differences in sun behaviors among melanoma survivors residing in urban versus rural communities. We wanted to describe differences in sun exposure and protection behaviors by urban/rural status among melanoma survivors. We conducted a secondary data analysis of 724 melanoma survivors who participated in a cross-sectional survey. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models assessed urban versus rural differences in sun exposure and protection behaviors. Unadjusted analyses showed evidence that urban melanoma survivors spent less time in the sun on weekdays and were more likely to use sunscreen, however, these differences disappeared when adjusting for confounding factors. Our study provides little evidence that rurality is an independent risk factor for worse sun protection behaviors in melanoma survivors after accounting for sociodemographic differences, but rurality as a broader term may be partially defined by urban versus rural sociodemographic differences. Skin health messaging to rural melanoma survivors should emphasize on ways to protect oneself from UV radiation even when spending time outside.
