The Association of Hair Dye Use With Sociodemographic and Lifestyle Factors in the Dutch General Population: A Cross-Sectional Questionnaire-Based Study.

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
backgroundSociodemographic and lifestyle factors may be related to the use of cosmetic procedures with potential adverse skin effects, such as hair dye use.
objectivesTo investigate the association of several sociodemographic and lifestyle factors with (adverse skin reactions to) hair dye use in the Dutch general population.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used questionnaire-derived data from the population-based Lifelines cohort regarding lifetime hair dye use and adverse skin reactions (n = 70 987). Logistic regression analyses investigated associations of sociodemographic factors (ethnicity, hair colour, marital status, educational attainment, income, neighbourhood socioeconomic status) and lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, and body mass index [BMI]) with adverse skin reactions to hair dye use.
resultsHair dye use was significantly positively associated with having dark blonde or brown hair colour, lower educational attainment, smoking, daily alcohol consumption and higher BMI. Hair dye use was significantly negatively associated with having red or auburn hair colour. Furthermore, adverse skin reactions to hair dye were significantly positively associated with higher BMI.
conclusionsOur findings highlight several positive associations between sociodemographic and lifestyle factors and both hair dye use and its adverse skin reactions. Notably, elevated BMI was consistently positively associated with both hair dye use and adverse skin reactions.
