Prevalence and influencing risk factors of eczema among preschool children in Urumqi city: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundEczema is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with impaired quality of life. We identified indoor environmental risk factors, to provide strong evidence for the prevention and control of eczema in preschool children.
methodsUsing a cross-sectional study with stratified random cluster sampling, we conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey among 8153 parents of children aged 2-8 years in 60 kindergartens in six districts of Urumqi city during August 2019.
resultsAmong 8153 preschool children, 12.0% of the children have been diagnosed with eczema. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that caesarean section (odds ratio [OR] = 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.36), being an only child (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.18-1.57), presence of mould or moisture in the mother's home before pregnancy (OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.17-2.00), presence of flies or mosquitoes in the dwelling currently (OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.10-1.55), pets kept in the child's home currently (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.01-1.51), presence of pets during child's first year (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.14-1.85), and family history of eczema (OR = 3.53, 95% CI: 2.98-4.19) are the risk factors for the development of eczema, whereas ethnicity other than the Han Chinese (OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.61-0.96) is a protective factor for eczema.
conclusionPreschool children in Urumqi are at a high risk of eczema, particularly those of the Han Chinese ethnicity. Parents should be attentive to the indoor living environment of children and take actions to reduce indoor humidity, pest control and elimination, and avoid raising pets to reduce the risk of development of eczema in children.
