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
Background: Occupational hand eczema (OHE) is common among healthcare workers (HCWs), especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Aims: Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of OHE among HCWs and to identify its associated risk factors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study. A self-administered questionnaire study was done. It was followed by a clinical assessment of subjects with skin changes on their hands to determine the likely cause and its severity. Descriptive analysis and inferential analysis were performed to determine the prevalence of OHE and its associated risk factors. Results: A total of 1004 HCWs with a mean age of 34.58 years old were recruited. Of these, 50.1% were nurses, another 24.6% were doctors. A 1-year prevalence of 42.3% and a point prevalence of 16.5% were reported. Dry skin ( Conclusions: We report a high prevalence of OHE among HCWs during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Education and effective preventive measures are paramount to prevent and improve occupational dermatosis.
