Clinical Patterns and Risk Factors of Occupational Contact Dermatitis in Hairdressers: A Questionnaire-based Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Annals of dermatology, 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
backgroundOccupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is prevalent among hairdressers due to frequent exposure to chemicals like hair dyes and bleaching agents. Despite the risks, awareness among hairdressers remains low, leading to underreporting and inadequate preventive measures.
objectiveThis study evaluated hairdressers' awareness of harmful hair dye ingredients, their experiences with OCD, and the association with product usage patterns.
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 100 hairdressers in Korea examined the relationship between work experience, product usage, and OCD. Chi-square tests and multivariate regression identified significant correlations.
resultsAmong the participants, 51% reported experiencing adverse skin reactions, with the hands being the most commonly affected area. Longer work experience as a hairdresser was significantly associated with the occurrence of adverse effects (
conclusionChemical exposure and frequent wet work contribute to high rates of OCD among hairdressers. Poor glove usage, especially during shampooing due to inconvenience, is a major risk factor. Raising awareness, promoting proper glove use, and improving workplace safety training are essential for reducing these skin conditions.
