Exposure and work-related factors in subjects with hand eczema: Data from a cross-sectional questionnaire within the Lifelines Cohort Study.
Article in Contact dermatitis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundHand eczema (HE) is the most frequently occurring occupational skin disease. However, studies on non-occupational wet exposure, occupations not considered as high-risk, and socioeconomic factors regarding HE are scarce.
objectivesTo investigate the association between HE and occupational and non-occupational wet exposure and work-related factors in the Dutch general population.
methodsWithin the Lifelines Cohort Study, participants with HE were identified by a digital, add-on questionnaire that included questions regarding exposure. Data on work-related and socioeconomic factors were collected from baseline.
resultsOverall, 57 046 participants (42.0%) were included. Occupational and non-occupational wet exposure were positively associated with HE in the past year (odds ratios (ORs) 1.35, [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.22-1.49] and 1.34, [95%CI: 1.17-1.53], respectively). Positive associations for high-risk occupations (OR 1.20, [95%CI: 1.06-1.36] for personal care workers in health services and OR 1.25, [95%CI: 1.06-1.48] for nursing and midwifery professionals), occupations not considered as high-risk (OR 1.19, [95%CI: 1.03-1.39] for legal, social and religious associate professionals) and higher levels of education were found (OR 1.17, [95%CI: 1.04-1.32] and OR 1.18, [95%CI: 1.04-1.34] for middle and high level, respectively).
conclusionPreventive strategies for HE should focus on avoidance of all wet exposure, regardless of origin. In addition, job tasks instead of job title should be taken into account. As previous results on the association between HE and socioeconomic factors differ, future research should focus on a uniform definition of socioeconomic status.
