Trends in Occupational Skin Disease among Korean Workers (2006-2017): Insights Into Declining Prevalence and Demographic Shifts.
Article in Safety and health at work, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Occupational skin diseases (OSDs) are among the most common work-related illnesses and impose a significant socioeconomic burden. While improvements in workplace environments have been noted in the Republic of Korea over the past two decades, research investigating long-term trends in OSD prevalence remains limited. Methods: This study analyzed the 2006-2017 Republic of Korea Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) data to examine temporal trends in self-reported 1-year prevalence of OSDs among Korean workers. OSD was identified based on self-reported skin symptoms and perceived work-relatedness. Sociodemographic, occupational characteristics, and hazardous factor exposure were assessed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and Pearson's correlation. Results: The self-reported 1-year prevalence of OSD significantly declined from 5.03% in 2006 to 0.67% in 2017 ( Conclusion: Despite self-reported OSD's overall decline in the Republic of Korea, emerging challenges like increased exposure in vulnerable groups and shifts to higher-risk industries persist. Our findings underscore the need for targeted prevention, continuous monitoring, and robust research to address evolving occupational skin health.
