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: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic dermatological condition, often diagnosed and managed by pediatricians. However, pediatricians have difficulties with adhering to guidelines, which recommend the use of topical corticosteroids (TCS) as a first-line treatment and oral corticosteroids (OCS) for resistant cases. Our aim was to assess pediatricians' self-confidence in using steroids in the management of pediatric AD, and investigate which characteristics are related to high self-confidence in prescribing corticosteroids (CS). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire study among Israeli pediatricians between April 2022 and June 2022. Participants were asked to answer questions dealing with self-assessment of prescribing CS in the management of AD. Results: A total of 171 residents and pediatricians participated in the survey; 86.6% and 28.1% admitted feeling either average or below-average confidence in the prescription of OCS and TCS, respectively. Physicians who were exposed to higher AD patients (P=0.048) and worked at the clinics (88.2% Conclusions: Most pediatricians have below-average confidence in prescribing OCS for the treatment of AD. Males, working in a community setting, and previous exposure improve the confidence level and can be easily considered in future pediatric training programs.
