History of S. aureus Skin Infection Significantly Associates with History of Eczema Herpeticum in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionPatients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are uniquely susceptible to a number of serious viral skin complications, including eczema herpeticum (EH), caused by herpes simplex virus. This study explored the associations between biomarkers of epithelial barrier dysfunction, type 2 immunity, Staphylococcus aureus infection, and S. aureus-specific immunoglobulin responses in a cohort of AD subjects with and without a history of EH (EH+ and EH-, respectively).
methodsA total of 112 subjects with AD (56 EH+, 56 EH-), matched by age and AD severity, were selected from a registry of over 3000 AD subjects. Logistic regression was used to test the association between history of S. aureus skin infection and history of EH, while controlling for a number of confounders.
resultsCompared to those without a history of S. aureus skin infection, subjects with a history of S. aureus skin infection were found to have more than sixfold increased odds of having a history of EH (6.60, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.00-21.83), after adjusting for history of other viral skin infections (molluscum contagiosum virus, human papillomavirus), serum total IgE, and IgG against the S. aureus virulence factor SElX.
conclusionsThese findings indicate an important relationship between S. aureus skin infections and EH.
