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

Background: Stigmatization of people with visible skin diseases (VSD) is a widespread problem that can lead to severe psychosocial stress. Owing to its great significance, there is also a need to develop and evaluate teaching opportunities for medical students to address stigmatization and the resulting negative consequences. Project description: The development of the seminar was based on the 6-step Kern cycle. Through the collaboration of dermatologists, psychologists, and an expert on stigmatization in psoriasis, a team-teaching seminar concept on the stigmatization and psychosocial burden of people with psoriasis was developed and implemented in standard teaching at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. Results: The seminar was held 19 times from October 2023 to July 2024; it was attended by 315 students. Participation in the voluntary questionnaire survey during the seminar was 93% ( Discussion: The seminar we designed closes the gap in the standard teaching of clinical and psychosocial subjects on the topic of stigmatization of VSD. By combining different teaching methods (frontal teaching, small group exercises, and discussions) with interdisciplinary team teaching, the sensitive topic of stigmatization in VSD was examined from dermatological and psychological perspectives. Appropriate teaching opportunities for students can improve their medical competence regarding stigmatization and psychosocial stress in people with VSD.
