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.

2 · The registry

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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease associated with a personal or family history of atopic diseases. Determining the objective severity scoring of AD index (SCORAD) and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) to help to stage the severity (lesions extent and intensity of the lesions and then the itch and sleep disturbance they may cause) of AD in children.In this study, we adopted the SCORAD index, which consists of severity, area, and sleep disturbance, to evaluate the AD status of children up to 18 years old. We examined the blood levels of total serum IgE, white blood cell count/differential count (WBC/DC), eosinophil counts (EC), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and specific IgE.A total of 208 children with AD were enrolled in this study. Serum IgE values and a number of specific IgE that are positive significantly different SCORAD index through simple linear regression; however, after multiple linear regression, only IgE values (95% CI: 0.001-0.004, P < .001), total WBC count (95% CI: 0.112-1.736, P = .026), EC (95% CI: 0.045-6.706, P = .047), and specific IgE to Cheddar cheese (95% CI: 1.814-16.731, P = .015) remain different. After applying the Phi coefficient, we found that specific IgE to tuna (r = 0.632), codfish (r = 0.613), and clam (r = 0.613) each had a moderate correlation with specific IgE to Cheddar cheese. The 6 most common allergens were found to be mite (D. Farinae: 65.9%), mite (D. Pterony: 64.9%), house dust (47.6%), cockroach mix (37.0%), shrimp (30.8%), and crab (22.6%). Covariates of SCORAD index, severity, area, and sleep disturbance differed.In this study, we found that total IgE values, specific IgE values, WBC, EC, and specific IgE to Cheddar cheese have significant correlations with SCORAD index in AD of Taiwanese children.
