Prevalence of self-skin exams and full body skin exams among patients with disabilities.
Article in Archives of dermatological research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Full body skin exams and self-skin exams are screening methods associated with reduced skin cancer incidence due to earlier detection and treatment of lesions. We performed a retrospective analysis on skin cancer screening and risk factors from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). The study cohort comprised a weighted population of 478,008,736 respondents, of whom 26,727,370 were patients with disabilities. Respondents with disabilities reported a lower frequency of full body skin exams (OR 0.74; CI 95% 0.69-0.79; P < 0.001) and self-skin exams (OR 0.85; CI 95% 0.78-0.91; P < 0.001), compared to respondents without disabilities. Lower rates of self-guided and clinician-guided screening may adversely affect skin cancer-related morbidity and mortality in persons with disabilities. Future research is needed to identify barriers to self-skin exams and full body skin exams in this population.
