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

backgroundSeborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic, inflammatory disease characterized by unknown etiopathogenesis. It affects skin areas rich in sebaceous glands. There are strong data on the relationship between nutrition habits, body mass index (BMI), psychoemotional status, and sebaceous gland diseases such as acne, rosacea, and androgenetic alopecia. However, there are very little data on SD, nutrition habits, BMI, and psychoemotional status.

aimsWe aimed to evaluate the nutrition habits, BMI, and psychoemotional status in patients with SD.

methodsOne hundred patients with SD and 110 healthy controls aged 18-65 years were included. Adolescents Food Habits Checklist (AFHC), a questionnaire form consisting information about nutrition habits and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) were completed by the participants, and BMI was calculated.

resultsSeverity of SD was positively correlated with BMI (p = 0.018). Patients with SD consumed more bread and less fruits-vegetables (p = 0.001, p = 0.006). Margarine, animal fat, and sugar consumption was higher in patients with moderate to severe SD (p = 0.008, p = 0.050). AFHC score was lower in patients with SD (p = 0.009). DASS-21 anxiety subscale and DASS-21 total scores were higher in the moderate to severe SD group (p = 0.035, p = 0.049).

conclusionsNutrition habits, higher BMI, and psychoemotional status may play a critical role in the etiopathogenesis of SD. Healthy nutrition habits and psychoemotional status may prevent the occurrence and exacerbation of SD.
