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

COVID-19 infection may affect the individuals with many underlying conditions including skin diseases. This cross-sectional study was conducted to provide an overview regarding the prevalence of COVID-19 disease in the patients with several skin diseases. Overall, 703 patients with several skin diseases participated in the study and completed our online-designed questionnaire. Among the total participants, only 32(4.6%) subjects reported the COVID-19 infection. The prevalence rate was equal to 0.04%. In the patients with psoriasis, 14 out of 322 people (4.3%) developed the COVID-19. Three out of 159 patients (1.9%) with alopecia areata had been affected with the COVID-19 and 4 (5.2%) patients with vitiligo had caught the disease. Only one subject (2%) with the lichen planus, and 6 (6.8%) patients with other skin diseases had developed the COVID-19 but in the patients with GVHD (Graft Versus Host Disease), 4 (80%) out of 5 patients had caught the COVID-19 disease. The frequency of COVID-19 infection was low in the studied population however; more studies with larger sample size are needed to determine the exact prevalence of the infection in the patients with skin diseases undergoing the treatment with several systemic medications.
