Different phenotypes and factors associated with atopic dermatitis in the young adult Singaporean Chinese population: A cross-sectional 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
backgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic allergic disease typically accompanied by atopy and thus, a tendency to develop allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma or food allergies. Currently, individuals with AD are classified into those presenting with AD alone and those presenting with AD along with other allergic diseases (AD+). It is important to identify the various endophenotypes of AD using anthropometric, environmental, socio-economic, and disease history data in order to improve disease management. To characterize the phenotypic differences among Singaporean Chinese individuals with AD alone and AD+, and identify the socioeconomic, lifestyle, and environmental factors associated with these different presentations.
methodsBased on data collected via a standardized/validated questionnaire, 4604 participants (mean age: 22.1 years) were classified into three groups: 1) AD alone group; 2) AD with other allergic diseases group (AD+); and 3) Control group.
resultsParticipants were less sensitized to common inhalant allergens in the AD alone group versus the Control group (67% vs. 72%, respectively; p < 0.05).High Body Mass Index (i.e., BMI > 23) was associated with the disease and the difference was more pronounced in the AD alone group compared to the AD+ group (Odds Ratio: 1.38; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.4-1.67; p < 0.001). No major differences in habits were observed between the AD alone and AD+ groups.
conclusionsThe two presentations of AD may have different underlying pathogenesis and associated risk factors.
