The Efficacy of Moisturisers Containing Ceramide Compared with Other Moisturisers in the Management of Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Indian journal of dermatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as atopic eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that recurs frequently and has diverse clinical features. The main mechanism of AD is the dysfunction of the skin-epidermal barrier. One of the causes of stratum corneum (SC) structural integrity disruption is the decreased production of ceramide, an important lipid component in SC. The latest generation of moisturisers contain ceramide to help replace this lipid deficit. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of moisturisers containing ceramide with other moisturisers for AD management. Searches were conducted systematically on PubMed, the Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Clinicaltrials.gov, and Google Scholar for studies published from January 2012 to July 2022. Interventions and outcomes were compared in this study. Statistical analysis was performed with ReviewManager 5.4 software. Five articles met the eligibility and inclusion criteria. Three articles were meta-analyses on trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) outcomes and two articles were meta-analyses on SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) outcomes. A meta-analysis of TEWL results found that TEWL values were not significantly different in subjects treated with ceramide-containing moisturisers (mean difference: -3.56, 95% CI [-8.63, 1.52],
