Seborrheic dermatitis in intensive care unit patients: A cross-sectional study of prevalence, severity, and associated clinical factors.

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
objectiveSeborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common inflammatory skin disorder; however, its characteristics in intensive care unit (ICU) patients are not well defined. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of SD, as well as its potential associated factors, in ICU patients.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 102 adult patients admitted to the ICU. SD was assessed with a standardized clinical scoring system. Demographic characteristics, ICU length of stay, Glasgow Coma Scale scores, level of consciousness, sedation status, immunosuppression, immune dysfunction, comorbidities, and medication use were recorded. Patients with and without SD were compared, and a multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors associated with SD.
resultsSD was identified in 39 of 102 patients (38.2%). In multivariable analysis, level of consciousness was independently associated with SD (overall p=0.035). Compared with conscious patients, sedated patients had significantly higher odds of SD (odds ratio=5.05, 95% confidence interval 1.41-18.08; p=0.013). No significant associations were observed for age, sex, ICU length of stay, immunosuppression, or immune dysfunction.
conclusionSD was common among critically ill patients. Level of consciousness emerged as the only factor independently associated with SD, whereas systemic factors and medication use were not significantly associated. Further studies incorporating detailed assessments of skin care practices, local skin factors, and other potential contributing factors are needed to clarify the mechanisms underlying these associations.
