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

backgroundEducational intervention (EI) could improve understanding of atopic dermatitis (AD) and adherence to treatment, decreasing severity, and improving quality of life (QoL).

objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the influence of an EI on the severity of the disease and on the QoL in children with AD.

methodsA controlled clinical trial was performed, including children up to 14 years of age with AD. Patients were allocated into control group (CG), which received usual guidelines on AD during the outpatient visit, and a study group (SG) that, in addition to the usual guidelines, participated in the EI. The severity of AD was assessed by Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) and Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). QoL was assessed by the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index and the Dermatitis Family Impact Questionnaire.

resultsTwenty-seven participants were included in the CG and 21 in the SG. There was a decrease in the median value for the QoL of children in the SG after the intervention (

conclusionThe EI rendered a decrease in severity of the disease and improvement in the QoL of patients and their caregivers.
