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

backgroundLimited studies on atopic dermatitis (AD) have investigated the possible covariance of sociodemographic factors with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

objectiveThis study aimed to examine the possible covariance between AD severity and HADS scores of patients in Taiwan.

methodsPatients with AD from a medical center and 2 regional hospitals in Taiwan were enrolled in this cross-sectional study from April 2018 to April 2019. AD severity was measured using the "scoring atopic dermatitis" index, and anxiety and depression were screened based on HADS.

resultsA total of 200 patients were included. After correcting for sociodemographic variables, significantly more borderline (≥8) and abnormal (≥11) cases of anxiety/depression ( LIMITATIONS: First, the cross-sectional study design cannot show causality. Second, baseline data, including a history of underlying cancer or previous psychiatric disorder, were not obtained in the questionnaire and may confound the HADS scores. Finally, a standardized psychiatric clinical interviews study design should be used for higher accuracy in the assessment of psycho-comorbidities.

conclusionHigher anxiety and depression risks were noted in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Except for psychosomatic symptoms, all kinds of anxiety and depression symptoms occurred more frequently in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.
