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 retrospective study investigated the effectiveness of calamine lotion (CL) as an adjunctive therapy to mometasone furoate ointment (MFO) in the treatment of infant eczema (IE). This retrospective study analyzed the electronic medical records of 50 IE infants. They were allocated to a treatment group or a control group, with 25 subjects in each group. All infants in both groups received MFO. In addition, infants in the treatment group underwent CL. The outcomes were effectiveness based on the eczema area and severity index, lesion area, and pruritus severity. We analyzed the outcomes before and after treatment. The results of this study showed that infants in the treatment group had more effective in effectiveness based on eczema area and severity index (P < .01), lesion area (P < .01), and pruritus severity (P = .01) than those in the control group. However, no medical records reported any adverse events in either group. The results of this study showed that CL added to MFO was more effective than MFO alone in the treatment of infants with IE.
