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

backgroundOccupational skin diseases, particularly hand eczema and contact dermatitis (of the hands), are among the most common occupational diseases and can be associated with substantial psychosocial burden. They can impair quality of life, work ability, and mental health.

objectiveTo present the current state of knowledge on mental health in patients with occupational dermatoses, including relevant psychosocial stressors, comorbidities, and perspectives for care. MATERIALS AND

methodsReview of the literature on psychological comorbidities, quality of life, stress, and interventions in occupational skin diseases, as well as rehabilitation programs such as tertiary individual prevention (TIP).

resultsSymptoms of anxiety and depression are common in patients with occupational skin diseases. In one study of occupational hand eczema, 20% of patients reported anxiety symptoms and 14% depressive symptoms. Overall, approximately 7.5-24% of dermatoses are associated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Psychological comorbidities are linked to reduced quality of life, poorer disease outcomes, and impaired work ability. Stress acts both as a risk factor and a consequence of the disease and is associated with delayed healing and reduced work performance.

conclusionPsychological factors play an important role in occupational skin diseases and should be considered in diagnosis and treatment. Interdisciplinary and psychoeducational interventions may improve mental health, disease coping, and occupational participation.
