Reliability and construct validity of the Hungarian version of Skindex-Mini.
Article in PloS one, 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
The Skindex-Mini is a brief 3-item dermatology-specific quality-of-life tool, that has been previously validated in English and Spanish. This study evaluated the reliability and construct validity of the Hungarian version in patients with skin diseases. In a cross-sectional study, 578 patients with inflammatory or noninflammatory conditions completed the Hungarian Skindex-Mini alongside established measures including the Dermatology Life Quality Index-Revised, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-16, and Stigmatization Scale for Chronic Illnesses-8 Questionnaire. Validity was assessed using and Spearman correlations. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a unidimensional structure, while Item Response Theory analyses indicated strong item discriminatory power and measurement invariance across groups. The tool demonstrated moderate convergent validity with stigma and distress, and acceptable discriminant validity with well-being. The Hungarian Skindex-Mini exhibits robust psychometric properties, supporting its use for rapid screening of dermatology-related quality-of-life burden. Its brevity makes it suitable for diverse clinical and research applications.
