Arctic & Antarctic dermatology: a narrative review of cutaneous conditions of polar explorers and researchers.
Review in Archives of dermatological research, 2025. 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
The intersection of historical, environmental, and modern research contexts creates a unique framework for understanding dermatological conditions in polar regions. The poles represent unique challenges to dermatological health ranging from difficulties in delivering healthcare in the extreme environmental characteristics of the poles. A narrative review of PubMed and Google Scholar between December of 2024 to January 2025 was performed analyzing sources relevant to dermatological environmental insults and healthcare delivery challenges at the Earth's poles. Polar explorers are likely to be at anincreased risk of developing skin cancer because of the high albedo of snow and ice coupled with a thinner region of the ozone layer in the poles, increased risk of developing frostbite and could induced dermatoses, face barriers to obtaining dermatologic care, and face dermatological challenges with nutrient and vitamin deficiencies. As polar research grows, dermatologists can serve a crucial role by developing protocols for managing dermatologic complications, training healthcare personnel prior to polar missions, and providing remote mission support through telemedicine.
