Dietary exclusion for childhood atopic dermatitis.
Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
questionAtopic dermatitis (AD) (eczema) is very common in childhood. Parents are often concerned that food allergy plays a role in their child's eczema presentation and practise elimination diets for symptom control. Should I recommend that children with AD eliminate cow's milk or eggs from their diets? ANSWER: There is insufficient evidence about the benefit of eliminating cow's milk in unselected patients with AD. Some evidence suggests that egg elimination might benefit those children with AD who are suspected of being allergic to eggs and who are sensitized to eggs; however, more research is needed in this population to guide the use of food elimination. Prolonged elimination diets that are not physician guided also put patients at risk of nutritional deficiencies and failure to thrive, and might actually contribute to the development of clinical food allergy.
