Previous Long-term Care Facility Admission as a Risk Factor for Scabies in a Medical Facility.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 study aimed to elucidate simple and effective risk factors for scabies infection in the medical environment for early detection and prevention of exposure to other patients and medical staff. We conducted a case-control study of patients who were diagnosed with scabies among hospitalized patients between 2008 and 2019 in an acute-care teaching hospital. Each case was matched according to sex and age with two randomly selected controls without scabies during hospitalization. Clinical characteristics of cases at the time of hospital admission were compared to those of the control group. The scabies group included 34 patients and 68 patients who were included in the control group. After adjusting for confounding factors, previous long-term care facility admission was only associated with scabies (adjusted odds ratio, 5.44; 95% confidence interval, 1.46-20.27;
