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
backgroundEarthquakes are major natural disasters that can trigger both psychological and dermatological disturbances. The complex interaction between post-disaster mental health and skin disease remains underexplored, particularly beyond the acute phase.
objectiveTo investigate the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and their associations with dermatologic diagnoses in patients attending a dermatology clinic one year after the February 6, 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 673 dermatology outpatients who had resided in Malatya during the earthquakes. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. Psychological distress was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder-Short Scale.
resultsClinically significant anxiety, depression, and PTSD were observed in 44.0%, 69.2%, and 15.8% of participants, respectively. The most frequent dermatologic diagnoses were telogen effluvium (18.7%), pruritus (16.0%), and urticaria (10.1%). Telogen effluvium was more common among patients with anxiety (
conclusionHigh levels of psychological distress persist among dermatology patients even one year after the earthquakes, underscoring the importance of integrated dermatologic and mental health assessment.
