Comparison of patients' diagnoses in a dermatology outpatient clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic period and pre-pandemic period.
Article in International journal of clinical practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
aimIn this study, we compared the current diagnoses of patients admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic with the diagnoses during the non-pandemic period, and we examined the effect of COVID-19 on the patient profile.
methodsDiagnoses were compared by examining the patient files of the 3-month period when the pandemic was influential in our country and the 2-week non-pandemic period corresponding to the same season a year ago. The outpatient diagnoses in the first month and the last month of the 3-month pandemic period were also compared.
resultsDuring the 3-month pandemic process, the most common reasons for applying to the outpatient clinic were acne, urticaria, psoriasis, and allergic/irritant contact dermatitis. Urticaria, psoriasis, allergic/irritant contact dermatitis, scabies, liken planus, mycosis fungoides, zona zoster, recurrent aphthous stomatitis and polymorph light eruption were statistically more common in the pandemic period. Moreover, acne, other eczematous dermatities, verruca, androgenic alopecia, and melanocytic nevus diagnoses were found to decrease statistically during the pandemic period when compared with the non-pandemic period.
conclusionUnlike other studies, the present study evaluated the patient diagnoses during the pandemic period and the period a year before and discussed the possible reasons for the changes in patient profiles.
