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

This study aimed to explore time trends in the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) according to age in Korean children. We observed changes in the estimated annual prevalence of AD using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) and Statistics Korea between 2003 and 2018. In each year, the highest prevalence was evident among children aged 12 to 23 months, and then the prevalence decreased with age. The annual prevalence of AD in Korean children under the age of 18 slightly increased from 4.0% in 2003 to 4.5% in 2018. During this period, the prevalence in children aged 6 to 18 years increased from 1.9% in 2003 to 3.1% in 2018, while that of infants aged less than 24 months substantially decreased. Among children who were born in 1991, 1997, 2000, 2003 and 2006, the slopes of decreasing trend lines over age 6 were similar. Comparing children born in 2009 and 2012 with those born before 2006, the more recent the birth year, the higher the prevalence of AD over age 6. In conclusion, time trends of the annual prevalence of AD in Korean children from 2003 through 2018 were different according to age group. These results suggest that AD development during infancy is decreasing whereas either a late-onset AD or early-onset, persistent phenotype is likely to increase. Different strategies according to age are required for more effective prevention and treatment of AD in Korean children.
