Patient Education Programs in Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionPatient education is crucial for improving disease outcomes in atopic dermatitis (AD). This review aims to summarize evidence about the effectiveness of educational programs for parents of pediatric AD patients.
methodsPubMed and Embase (inception to Feb 2020) were searched and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in English were included. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane risk of bias tools and quality of evidence was assessed by Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). Pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for the disease severity instrument (Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis, SCORAD) and quality of life (QoL) instruments using the random-effects model.
resultsA total of 13 RCTs were included in the systematic review. The meta-analysis of SCORAD contained seven studies with a total of 1853 patients. The reduction in disease severity (SCORAD) was larger in the treatment group (SMD = - 8.22, 95% CI = - 11.29, - 5.15; P < 0.001; I
conclusionsStructured patient education is beneficial and should be implemented for the management of AD patients. However, an optimal delivery mode needs to be determined.
