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

The aim of this study is to elucidate the relationship between 2 different types of severity-indicating parameters (i.e. between subjective and objective severity-indicating parametersin patients with atopic dermatitis. The disease severity of 55 patients with atopic dermatitis was assessed using 7 subjective parameters indicating severity, including visual analogue scale for itch, Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure, 5-D itch scale, Dermatology Life Quality Index, Eczema Area and Severity Index, body surface area, and Investigator Global Assessment, and 8 objective parameters indicating severity, including eosinophil relative count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, lactate dehydrogenase, and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine. Five subjective parameters reflecting itch correlated significantly with eosinophil relative count, but not with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. In contrast, 2 subjective parameters, mainly reflecting the degree of inflammation and area of affected regions, correlated significantly with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. The eosinophil relative count may correlate with the degree of itch, while the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio may correlate with the degree of inflammation and the area of the affected region. The eosinophil relative count and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio may thus be stand-alone parameters from each other in the assessment of the severity of atopic dermatitis.
