Hand dermatitis: a 6-year experience in a tertiary referral Brazilian hospital.
Article in Anais brasileiros de dermatologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHand dermatitis (HD) is a prevalent inflammatory skin disease with a significant socioeconomic impact.
objectivesTo characterize the population of HD patients followed up at the Department of Dermatology of a tertiary hospital.
methodsA cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study was carried out through the analysis of medical records of HD patients assisted at the Allergy Clinic of the Department of Dermatology, Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo, between March 1, 2016 and August 31, 2022.
resultsOf the 175 patients, 73.3% were women, and the mean age at the onset of the condition was 41.7 years. There was a statistically significant association between occupation categories and the presence of occupational dermatitis. Cases were classified as irritant contact dermatitis (49.7%), allergic contact dermatitis (57.1%) and endogenous vesicular HD (3.4%). It was observed a statistically significant higher frequency of patch tests positivity for methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI) and nickel sulfate in women and for potassium bichromate and carba mix in men. DLQI was assessed in 77 patients, and the average score was 7.8 points. STUDY LIMITATIONS: As limitations, the authors point out data collection from medical records, which lacked some information. Furthermore, as this was a cross-sectional study, it was not possible to assess cause-and-effect relationships between the variables.
conclusionsThe present data reinforces the importance of patch tests in HD investigation and highlights the high sensitivity rates to MCI/MI and nickel sulfate in Brazilian women and to potassium bichromate and carba mix in Brazilian men patients.
