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

backgroundPeriorbital hyperpigmentation (POH) is a common complaint worldwide. Although this cosmetic condition is not a medical concern, it can impact emotional well-being. Few investigations have evaluated the association of various factors with POH, which is contradictory in some ways.

aimThe present study is conducted to elucidate the accurate impact of risk factors on the severity of POH. PATIENTS/

methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed on 116 patients attending a skin Outpatient Department in Iran from March to August 2022. A complete physical examination divided patients into mild, moderate, severe, and very severe classes. Valid questionnaires were filled out by participants about their demographic data, underlying diseases, and their habits. The chi-square and linear regression tests were done. All data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.

resultAmong demographic factors, positive family history had a significant association with POH. There was a significant association between POH and stress, prolonged exposure to sun or television, and taking hormonal pills. Surprisingly, sleep quality was not significantly related to POH. In addition, there was a relationship between POH and some underlying diseases. DISSUASION: The present study agreed with others about the significant impact of factors like family history, prolonged sun exposure, stress, and anemia. The current investigation elucidated doubts about the insignificant effect of sleep quality on the severity of POH. In contrast to previous studies, a remarkable relationship between POH and atopy was not revealed.

conclusionPOH is an undesirable condition. Two key factors associated with this cosmetic problem are rubbing eyes and prolonged exposure to television.
