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
Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that negatively impacts patients' psychological well-being. Coping strategies can influence disease adaptation and psychosocial outcomes. However, little is known about how rosacea patients in Saudi Arabia cope with the burden of this disease. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured tool that combined clinical assessments with the Arabic version of the Brief COPE. Participants were recruited through dermatology clinics and online platforms. Coping strategies were categorized into three domains: problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant. Statistical analyses included correlation tests and post-hoc clustering. Results: 176 participants (mean age: 28.8 ± 8.25 years; 79.5% female) completed the survey. Problem-focused coping had the highest mean score (68.48), followed by emotion-focused (60.98) and avoidant strategy (49.01). Maladaptive strategies, such as substance use and behavioral disengagement, were the least adopted. Significant positive correlations were observed between disease duration and all three coping styles, with the strongest correlation found for the emotional-focused coping strategy (r = 0.323, Conclusion: Rosacea patients in Saudi Arabia predominantly use constructive, culturally grounded coping strategies, with religion playing a crucial role. Sociodemographic factors such as education and employment significantly influence coping profiles. In light of these findings, it is essential to develop culturally sensitive interventions that promote adaptive coping and integrate social and spiritual support.
