Effects on quality of life and psychosocial wellbeing in Chinese patients with keloids.

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
Keloids are defined as raised scar tissue that grows excessively and invasively beyond the original wound borders during abnormal, fibroproliferative wound healing. The effects of these lesions on quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial wellbeing have not been assessed in keloid-endemic environments such as China. The purpose of our study was to investigate the QoL and mental health status of patients with keloids in China. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) were used to explore the effects of keloids on patients' QoL and psychosocial wellbeing. The main scoring elements of the DLQI focused on psychological feelings, QoL, and social activities. In addition, the results of the SCL-90 revealed that scores pertaining to interpersonal relationship sensitivity, depression, and anxiety were higher in the visible scar group than in either the invisible scar group or the normal group (
