Draping in Dermatology: A Physician's Perspective.
Article in Journal of cutaneous medicine and surgery, 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
backgroundPatient dignity is a core component of medicine and health care, yet maintaining patient dignity can be challenging in clinical settings in dermatology, specifically during a total body skin examinations (TBSE) for appropriate assessment and diagnosis. A recent study evaluated patient perspectives in dermatology. The purpose of this study was to investigate current draping practices and perspectives from a physicians' perspective.
methodsA cross-sectional study was performed with the use of study-specific questionnaire distributed to staff dermatologists and dermatology residents across Canada.
resultsA total of 117 physicians were included (84 attending dermatologists and 33 dermatology residents). Nearly all staff and resident dermatologists (90.6%) indicated that draping was important. Specific practices differed between residents and staff ( DISCUSSION: This study confirms that draping practices in dermatology are perceived as important by dermatologists, consistent with other reports emphasizing approaches to protect patient privacy and dignity. There is a shared value for draping and consistent integration of this within current practice of Canadian dermatologists. Formal and informal education incorporated in medical education and dermatology training is becoming more prominent. Major study limitations include sampling bias, convenience bias and nonresponse bias.
conclusionThis is the first study to evaluate physician perspectives on draping in dermatology or other areas in medicine. Findings from this study support a focus on draping in medical education.
