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 alcoholism is a multifactorial condition predisposed by environmental, social, and psychological factors. Alcohol dependence syndrome (ADS) can present with varied cutaneous and systemic manifestations. The effects of alcohol use include cutaneous infections, infestations, features of malnutrition, exacerbation of pre-existing dermatoses, and alcohol-related dermatoses. This study aimed to analyze and document cutaneous manifestations secondary to infections, infestations, malnutrition, and modifications of pre-existing dermatoses in ADS patients and investigate the correlation between the presence of cutaneous manifestations and duration and quantity of alcohol intake. Methods: The present observational study was carried out in the Department of Dermatology for a period of one year. A total of 172 male patients with ADS presenting with skin manifestations were included in the study. Detailed analysis of history, clinical examination, and relevant investigations were conducted. Findings: Out of 172 male patients with ADS, the most common dermatoses noted were infections (166, 96.5%) and features of malnutrition (161, 93.6%). Exacerbation of pre-existing dermatoses (101, 58.7%) and alcohol-related dermatoses (85, 49.4%) were also observed. Conclusion: Most of the dermatoses were significantly correlated with the quantity of alcohol intake than with its duration, implying that higher quantity of alcohol intake has more impact on cutaneous and systemic manifestations. Identifying the cutaneous manifestations in ADS patients plays an important role in recognizing the underlying systemic disorders which in turn facilitates early intervention and thereby prevents complications.
