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

Background: Existing skin health assessments predominantly focus on single topics or diseases, making it difficult to cover the complete "Knowledge-Self-efficacy-Attitudes-Behaviors (KSAB)" continuum. Objective: To develop and validate a skin health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors questionnaire for the general population. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among the general population between October and November 2025. The questionnaire was developed based on a conceptual structure incorporating four dimensions: knowledge, self-efficacy, attitudes, and behaviors. Content validity was assessed by 13 experts, and the Item-level Content Validity Index (I Results: A total of 865 individuals were enrolled (men: women = 1.24:1). Content validity was good (I Conclusion: This study developed and validated a KSAB questionnaire on skin health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, showing good validity and item-level performance. The findings support targeted health promotion for men, older adults, and service/manual workers.
