Age-dependent Distribution of Atopic Dermatitis in Primary Care: A Nationwide Population-based Study from Finland.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
The burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) appears to be increasing in adult and elderly patients. The aim of this study was to analyse the nationwide database of the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare regarding the number of patients with AD and of general practitioner consultations in Finland during 2018. The database comprised the main diagnoses of all visits to public primary healthcare. There were 2,094,673 primary care patients (males/females 43.19/56.81%) and 20,905 patients with AD (1.00%) and 24,180 consultations due to AD (0.45%). The highest numbers of patients with AD were in the age groups 0-14 years (9,922 patients, 47.46%) and 15-65 years (9,144 patients, 43.74%). A substantial proportion of patients with AD were aged > 50 years (3,515 patients, 16.81%) or >65 years (1,947 patients, 9.31%). Regression analysis indicated a statistically significant association of age group with patient numbers (p = 0.032) and number of consultations (p = 0.030). There were no differences between direct age group comparisons (p = 0.303), sex (p = 0.389), or number of consultations/patient (p = 0.235). Patients with AD are prevalent in all age groups in Finnish primary care. Patient numbers were also relatively high in groups other than childhood, indicating that age-related distribution in primary care may be shifting to older ages.
