Dermatological diagnoses among people experiencing homelessness in the USA.
Article in Skin health and disease, 2026. 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: The experience of homelessness is a growing problem in the USA. Environmental exposures, chronic medical conditions and barriers to personal hygiene could increase risk of dermatological disease. Objectives: To evaluate the association of homelessness with receiving a dermatological diagnosis and to compare dermatological diagnoses between unhoused and housed individuals. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of the 'All of Us' database, a national dataset from the USA with detailed participant-reported housing information. We constructed logistic regression models with dermatological diagnosis as binary outcome, housing status as binary exposure, and age, gender, race and ethnicity, geographical region, educational attainment, serious mental illness, alcohol-use disorder, and cocaine, opioid or stimulant drug use as confounders. Results: Among 257 701 participants, people experiencing homelessness had lower odds of being diagnosed with any dermatological disease [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63-0.72; Conclusions: Our results underscore the need to improve access to care and water, sanitation and hygiene services for people experiencing homelessness to reduce risk of bacterial skin infection and ectoparasitic infestations.
