Case Report: Acne related to electric welding, a new type of occupational acne.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Occupational dermatoses constitute a significant proportion of occupational diseases, among which occupational acne can cause irreversible scarring and immense psychological distress in affected workers due to its disfiguring nature. Early recognition of suspected ocupational skin diseases is crucial for effective prevention and treatment. Electric welding exposes workers to a complex mixture of metal fumes, ultraviolet radiation, heat and other potential occupational hazards that may contribute to acne development. Here, we report two cases of persistent nodular acne linked to electric welding exposure observed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University in China. Both patients presented with persistent nodular acne clearly associated with welding environments, with improvement during periods away from occupational exposure. Based on our clinical findings and a review of the potential etiological factors and pathogenic mechanisms, these cases suggest a distinct new subtype of occupational acne related to electric welding hazards. Recognizing these characteristics may help in early detection, prevention and management of occupational dermatoses.
