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
Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, significantly impact public health, including dermatological conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the dermatological complaints of patients who presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic of Hatay Hassa State Hospital following the February 2023 Turkey and Syria earthquake. This retrospective descriptive study analyzed dermatological complaints between April 2023 and January 2024. Patients were categorized into three time periods: Group 1 (April-June 2023), Group 2 (July-September 2023), and Group 3 (October 2023-January 2024). Complaints were classified into 17 groups, and temporal trends were analyzed. A total of 5103 patients were included, with a female predominance (60.7%) and a median age of 26 years (IQR: 18-43). Infections and infestations (Group 1) were the most frequent complaints throughout the study, peaking immediately after the earthquake (38%). Acne (Group 2) and neurocutaneous disorders showed temporal declines, while hair disorders (Group 14) and disorders due to physical agents (Group 13) exhibited seasonal peaks. Hygiene challenges, communal living, and stress were identified as contributing factors to the observed trends. Scabies outbreaks were notable, underscoring the importance of treatment algorithms and national guidelines in managing infectious skin diseases. Dermatological complaints in post-disaster settings evolve over time, reflecting the interplay of environmental, psychological, and seasonal factors. Integrating hygiene interventions and evidence-based dermatological care into disaster response strategies is critical for addressing both acute and chronic conditions. Future research should explore the psychological dimensions of dermatological health in disaster-affected populations.
