[Relevance of health geographic research for dermatology].
Review in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The association between geographic and medical aspects is a well-known phenomenon, which also occurs in dermatological research. This article reviews the field of health geography, the history of the association between spatial location and health, and focuses on current areas of research. Research focusing on explaining regional variations in health refer to individual aspects and needs, population factors, environmental factors, and health care delivery structures in specific regions, as well as the interaction between them. Regional healthcare research is primarily concerned with access to health services and on the utilisation of those services. Methodologically, the analysis of geodata and the application of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial modelling play a major role in this field. Dermatological research and dermatological practice can benefit from the findings of the regional analysis of access, utilisation, and variations in order to obtain a more detailed picture of care and thus to optimise care.
