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

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is efficacious in treating numerous psychological disorders. It is also effective in combination with medication for chronic pain, diabetes, and other diseases. Patients with skin disease report high levels of stress, anxiety, and negative feelings. Objective: To summarize the findings on the utility of CBT for the improvement of skin status and quality of life in patients with dermatological conditions. Methods: PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched for relevant articles from database inception to the time of search (October 20, 2021). A total of 30 included studies featured 10 on psoriasis, 11 on atopic dermatitis, 4 on vitiligo, 4 on acne, and 1 study on alopecia areata. Results: Several studies, including randomized controlled trials with large study samples, support the effectiveness of CBT and Internet CBT for a number of dermatological conditions. Patients who completed CBT courses were less likely to rely on dermatological healthcare during follow-up. Limitations: There are a limited number of studies discussing the implementation of CBT for alopecia, acne, and vitiligo. Conclusion: Patients who underwent CBT or Internet CBT in addition to skin care demonstrated improvement with quality of life and severity of skin disease as compared to controls only receiving standard of care treatment.
