1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPediatric dermatoses are common and impact the quality of life. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and characteristics of pediatric dermatoses among 1

methodsA Cross-sectional study was conducted on 23,203 1

resultsThe average age of students was 12.00 ± 3.33 years. Prevalence of skin diseases was 37.9%. Positive family history of skin disease (aOR 3.482, 95% CI: 2.871-4.222, p < 0.001), sanitary water disposal (aOR 3.846, 95% CI: 3.001-4.930, p < 0.001), residence (aOR 1.760, 95% CI: 1.657-1.870, p < 0.001), father's occupation and education (aOR 1.494, 95% CI: 1.334-1.672, p < 0.001 and aOR 1.349, 95% CI: 1.251-1.454, p < 0.001, respectively), and crowding index (aOR 1.469, 95% CI: 1.372-1.573, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for exhibiting skin diseases.

conclusionA high prevalence of pediatric dermatosis was established with associated sociodemographic risk factors, so healthcare and education programs and services should be directed toward children with continuous supervision and periodic examination.
