Use of primary care services among patients with chronic skin disease seen by dermatologists.
Article in JAAD international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundSkin diseases, such as psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, and alopecia areata, have increasingly been linked to systemic and mental health comorbidities, such as depression. Although identification and management of these comorbidities is typically a part of primary care, some patients might not have an established relationship with a primary care provider and may only be seeing their dermatologist.
objectiveTo examine the frequency with which dermatologists are the main contact within a health care system for patients with these chronic skin conditions.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study using Optum's deidentified Clinformatics Data Mart Database. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who established care with a dermatologist and had no encounters with a primary care provider during the subsequent year after this dermatology encounter.
resultsAcross each of the skin diseases evaluated, 21.6%-31.2% of men and 16.9%-26.2% of women had no primary care visits in the subsequent year after establishing care with their dermatologist. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: For many patients with chronic skin diseases, their dermatologist might be their only source of contact with the health care system. There may be an opportunity for dermatologists to improve the quality of care for our patients by screening for associated comorbidities.
