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
purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of underlying emotional disorders and associated risk factors in patients with facial dermatoses in the dermatology outpatient department.
methodsAll patients with facial dermatoses attending our dermatology clinic from January 2023 to January 2024 were included in the retrospective study. Basic demographic data were collected. All patients were screened for emotional disorders using a simple questionnaire called the Huaxi Emotional-Distress Index (HEI) at the time of consultation. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with HEI scores greater than 8.
resultsTwo hundred and twelve patients were included in the study including 125 males and 87 females. Sixty patients (28.3%) had a HEI score of > 8. The causes of emotional disorders in patients with facial dermatoses were age, gender and number of visits. After logistic regression analysis, younger age and more number of visits were risk factors for emotional disorders.
conclusionsA high percentage of patients with facial dermatoses in dermatology outpatient department have emotional disorders. Dermatologists need to focus on patients who are at risk of developing emotional disorders, especially younger patients with more number of visits.
