Article in Allergy, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00438022 (Risk Factors in Atopic Dermatitis for the Development of Eczema Herpeticum), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

backgroundFactors favoring the emergence of eczema herpeticum (EH) in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) remain elusive. The aim of this work was to identify changes in clinical and laboratory parameters in acute EH patients, before and after 6 weeks of treatment, as well as differences between AD patients with and without a history of EH.

methodsA total of 235 adult subjects were included and subdivided into six groups: (i) AD patients with acute EH, (ii) AD patients with history of EH, (iii) AD without EH but with recurrent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, (iv) AD without EH or recurrent HSV infections and healthy non-AD controls (v) with and (vi) without recurrent HSV infections. Clinical examination of AD, assessment of atopic status and severity were performed. Total IgE, allergen-specific IgE and differential blood count were analyzed. Clinical diagnosis of acute EH was confirmed by PCR.

resultsMore male patients with AD were affected by EH than female patients. Acute episodes of EH are characterized by lower levels of lymphocytes and higher levels of monocytes. AD patients with history of EH display higher total IgE serum levels (ADEH(+) HSV(+) vs ADEH(-) HSV(+) , P < 0.001) and higher sensitization profiles and stronger severity of AD (EASI and SCORAD; ADEH(+) HSV(+) vs ADEH(-) HSV(+) , P < 0.001). Concomitant asthma and rhinitis were identified as correlates of EH.

conclusionFrom these data, we conclude that AD patients with EH display a distinct clinical and biological phenotype.
