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

introductionThe diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis (AD) is extensively addressed in detailed clinical guidelines. However, the high heterogeneity regarding presentation and progression and the increasingly broad therapeutic landscape suggest a complex real-world scenario, leading to multiple trajectories of AD patients.

methodsUsing a Delphi methodology for assessing the degree of consensus, we explored the views of a panel of dermatologists regarding the patients' trajectory through the diagnosis (block 1), treatment (block 2), and long-term management (block 3) of AD. Based on a systematic search of the literature, a scientific committee prepared a questionnaire of relevant items that were rated on a 10-point scale (from "totally agree" to "totally disagree") by a panel of dermatologists attending patients with AD in the hospital setting. Consensus was established based on predefined rules.

resultsThe final questionnaire included 58 items and was answered by 17 dermatologists. Overall, consensus was reached on 22 items (37.9%), each of which was a consensus for agreement. The consensus rates in blocks 1, 2, and 3 were 22.7%, 19.0%, and 86%, respectively.

conclusionsOur analysis revealed a remarkable lack of consensus on various aspects of the routine diagnosis and treatment of AD. These findings suggest the presence of unmet needs or limited implementation of guidelines for the management of AD and encourage further research to explore the causes of this low consensus on the management of AD in the real-world setting.
