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

Introduction: In addition to chronic skin inflammation, exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from sunlight is one of the most important factors predisposing to skin cancer. The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of significant risk factors for skin cancer and to assess the methods of skin cancer prevention used in the Polish population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An anonymous survey was conducted between December 2021 and December 2022. 651 respondents took part in the study, including 86 respondents (13.2%) suffering from skin cancer. Results: It was found that statistically significantly more often respondents with atopic dermatitis ( Conclusions: Regular examination of moles, in addition to adequate skin protection against UVR, is an important element of skin cancer prevention, especially in people with fair skin, those suffering from inflammatory skin diseases and diabetes as well as taking medications with photosensitizing properties.
