Illness-related stigma mediates the association between disease severity and dermatology- specific quality of life in chronic inflammatory skin diseases: a structural equation modeling study.

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: Chronic inflammatory skin diseases substantially impair health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, clinical severity alone does not fully account for variability in patient-reported outcomes. Objectives: To test a theory-driven pathway model linking disease severity to HRQoL via illness-related stigma and to examine the roles of hope and perceived social support. Methods: In this single-center cross-sectional study ( Results: The model demonstrated good fit (χ Conclusion: Disease burden may influence HRQoL partly through illness-related stigma and reduced hope. These findings support integrating psychosocial assessment into routine dermatologic care.
