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

To compare the quality of life (QoL) of children with and without atopic dermatitis (AD) and that of their caregivers and to assess their QoL according to different degrees of AD. This is a cross-sectional, case-control study conducted with patients aged between 4 and 12 years with and without AD and their caregivers. Patients were treated at the Pediatric Dermatology Outpatient Center and the Childcare Center of the Joana de Gusmão Children's Hospital, respectively, from June 2021 to March 2022. The QoL Assessment Scale Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Infant Imagé (AUQEI) was applied to children and adolescents with AD and the control group while the World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment instrument was administered to their caregivers. Fifty cases and fifty controls were included in this study. When assessing the QoL of the case and control groups, statistically significant differences were found in the domains of the AUQUEI instrument. Regarding QoL and AD severity, a statistically significant difference was seen (p = 0.027) when comparing moderate and severe SCORAD scores. When comparing the QoL of children with and without AD, a difference was seen between the two groups. The QoL of AD patients was worse and related to the severity of the disease. A better QoL was found among the caregivers in the control group. In the case group, the higher the SCORAD score, the worse the QoL. No relationship was found between AD severity and the QoL of the caregivers in the case group.
