Evaluation of Glove Liners Made of Semipermeable and Textile Materials in Patients With Hand Dermatoses: Results of a Multicenter Intervention Study (ProTection II).
Article in Contact dermatitis, 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
backgroundGlove liners (GLs) are worn under impermeable gloves to prevent occlusion effects.
objectivesTo evaluate the acceptance and tolerability of cotton gloves (COT) and semipermeable Sympatex gloves (SYM) as GLs in patients with hand dermatoses.
methodsIn a prospective multicenter study, 210 patients with work-related hand dermatoses were invited to wear either COT or SYM as GLs for 4 weeks underneath occlusive protective gloves during their regular work tasks. Acceptance of GL and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed by questionnaires and the disease severity by the Osnabrueck Hand Eczema Severity Index.
resultsA total of 178 data sets were available (SYM: n = 89/103, 86.4%; COT: n = 89/107, 83.2%). Both GLs did not impair work performance and were applicable in various work activities. SYM received better ratings regarding climate conditions, mobility and tactility. COT showed superiority in fit, donning and doffing. No substantial intergroup differences regarding disease severity and HRQoL were observed.
conclusionsSYM and COT were well tolerated and accepted, suggesting that SYM is a reasonable alternative for COT as GL in patients with hand dermatoses. The choice of material of GLs may depend on occupation-specific requirements for the performed tasks, individual needs and preferences.
