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
backgroundAllergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that may be accompanied by psychological distress. Previous studies have suggested an association between ACD and various psychopathological symptoms, which can negatively affect patients' well-being.
objectivesTo evaluate the psychopathological symptom burden in patients with ACD using the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and to explore associations with clinical and sociodemographic variables. PATIENTS/MATERIALS/
methodsThis cross-sectional case-control study included 450 participants (225 patients with ACD and 225 controls). Group comparisons and association analyses were performed to examine differences between patients and controls and to explore relationships with clinical and sociodemographic characteristics.
resultsPatients with ACD scored significantly higher than controls across all SCL-90-R dimensions. The highest proportions of patients scoring above the 70th percentile were observed for phobic anxiety (64.4%), somatization (42.2%) and anxiety (36.9%). Female sex, lower educational level and single marital status were independently associated with higher psychopathological scores. In addition, disease severity was associated with interpersonal sensitivity and psychoticism, while self-perceived disease severity was associated with somatization and anxiety.
conclusionsPatients with ACD exhibit a significantly higher burden of psychopathological symptoms compared with controls. This finding highlights the relevance of psychological distress as a common feature of ACD and supports the inclusion of mental health considerations in the clinical assessment of these patients.
