Factors influencing quality of life in children with atopic dermatitis and their caregivers: 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
Better understanding of atopic dermatitis' effect on quality of life could enhance current management and therapeutic strategies. Studies investigating factors related to the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of children with atopic dermatitis and their caregivers are limited. This cross-sectional study included 559 children (<16 years) with atopic dermatitis and their caregivers. Disease severity was associated with infants' HRQOL (moderate: IRR: 1.42, 95% CI 1.20-1.67; severe: IRR: 1.72, 95% CI 1.32-2.24). Age and disease severity were associated with children's HRQOL (age: IRR: 0.99, 95% CI 0.98-1.00; moderate: IRR: 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.14). Quality of life subdomains itching/scratching, emotional distress and sleep disturbance were most reported and increased with higher disease severity. Both caregivers' mental and physical health were negatively affected by children's HRQOL (physical: IRR: 0.99, 95% CI 0.99-1.00; mental: IRR: 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99). Sociodemographic characteristics (gender, ethnicity, educational attainment of carers, number of children) did not demonstrate significance in children's HRQOL model. In conclusion, current atopic dermatitis diagnostics and treatment have to be extended to the factors influencing both children' as their caregivers' quality of life and adapting management accordingly. Itching/scratching, emotional distress and sleep disturbance deserve attention. Sociodemographic characteristics in children's HRQOL models also merit attention in further research.
