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

objectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitiligo and associated factors among patients visiting the dermatologic outpatient departments at Tibebe Ghion Specialized Hospital and Addisalem Primary Hospitals, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, from September 15 to November 15, 2023.

resultsAmong the 460 patients studied, 243 (52.8%) were female, with the majority (28.9%) aged between 25 and 34 years. The overall prevalence of vitiligo was found to be 7.4% (34 patients). Significant predictors of vitiligo included rural residence (AOR: 3.18; 95% CI: 1.10-9.18), family history of vitiligo (AOR: 2.20; 95% CI: 2.16-4.76), and aggravating factors such as trauma (AOR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.01-2.08). The highest prevalence was observed in the 14-24 age group. These findings suggest the importance of awareness campaigns focusing on the causes, symptoms, and treatments of vitiligo, particularly among young adults in rural areas.
