Early-Life Skin Microbial Biomarkers for Eczema Phenotypes in Chinese Toddlers.

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
Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disorder during infancy. Evidence has shown that skin-microbiome fluctuations may precede eczema development, but their predictive value for eczema phenotypes remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the early-life evolution of the skin microbiome and its temporal associations with different pairs of eczema phenotypes (transient versus persistent, atopic versus non-atopic) in Chinese children. We followed 119 term Chinese infants from birth to 24 months old within a Hong Kong birth cohort. The skin microbes at the left antecubital fossa were serially sampled by flocked swabs at 1, 6, and 12 months for bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The atopic sensitization at 12 months was strongly associated with eczema persisting to 24 months (odds ratio 4.95, 95% confidence interval 1.29-19.01). Compared with those with non-atopic eczema, the children with atopic eczema had reduced alpha diversity at 12 months (
