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: Although dedicated dermatology wards have been closed in some countries, they continue to exist in others. Inpatient consultations requested from dermatologists have been investigated widely. However, those requested by dermatologists have been taken into consideration only in a few studies. Objective: This study aimed to investigate such consultations, particularly in the context of diagnoses, reasons, and consulting specialties. Methods: Patients admitted to the dermatology ward of a tertiary hospital in Turkey between January 2019 and August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The most common diagnoses were non-pustular psoriasis (11.5%), pruritus (10.9%), and urticaria (10.6%) in 548 admissions with a median length of stay of 15.1 days. There were 1712 consultations. Their number per admission was positively correlated with patient's age and length of stay. Highest numbers were observed in admissions with a diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid, leg ulcers, lupus erythematosus, pustular psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and pemphigus. Reasons for consultation were management of comorbidity (53.8%), evaluation for drug precaution (19.1%), investigation for etiology (12.8%), evaluation for systemic involvement (6.0%), taking treatment advice (5.4%), obtaining biopsy (3.0%), and differential diagnosis (1.9%). Conclusion: Our findings showed that the number of consultations per admission was high, and the most common reason for consultation was comorbidity, indicating that, practically, there are no more pure dermatological patients. Therefore, if dedicated dermatology wards will continue to exist, in order to lower the number of consultations so length of stay, dermatologist should be trained in a manner so that they have more knowledge about common comorbidities.
