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

Background: This claims-based study aimed to assess recent nationwide trends in pediatric incidence of atopic diseases in Germany. Methods: Incidence of atopic dermatitis, asthma, and hay fever was assessed from 2013 to 2021 in annual cohorts of 0- to 17-year-old children and adolescents with statutory health insurance (N = 11,828,525 in 2021). Results: Incidence of atopic dermatitis remained largely unchanged (15.2 cases per 1000 children in 2021) while hay fever incidence exhibited a fluctuating trend over the study period and amounted to 8.8 cases per 1000 in 2021. Asthma incidence decreased gradually between 2013 (12.4/1000) and 2019 (8.9/1000). This downward trend was followed by a further disproportionate reduction from 2019 to 2020 (6.3/1000) and a re-increase in 2021 (7.2/1000). Conclusion: The findings complement nationwide prevalence surveys of atopic diseases in children and adolescents in Germany. Knowledge about temporal variations in risk of atopic diseases are crucial for future investigations of explanatory factors to enhance the development of preventive measures. While asthma incidence followed a declining trend throughout the study period, an unprecedentedly strong reduction in pediatric asthma risk was observed in 2020, the first year of the COVID-19-pandemic.
