Atopic Dermatitis in Individuals of Asian and African Ancestry: A Scoping Systematic Review.
Article in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionAtopic Dermatitis (AD) affects individuals from all ethnicities and backgrounds. It has the highest global disease burden of dermatoses. There is a widely held belief that the presentation of AD is not described well in individuals with non-European ancestry in peer-reviewed literature. However, to our knowledge, this has not been investigated previously.
objectiveTo quantify the number of peer-reviewed literature describing the appearance of clinical features of AD in non-European ancestry, particularly those originating from the Asian and African continents.
methodsA systematic scoping review between December 2020 and January 2021 was performed to quantify the number of studies describing AD in individuals of African and Asian ancestry.
resultsSixteen studies were identified. None of the studies provided a clear description of AD in our population groups. Two studies described features of lichen planus like-AD in African American individuals. All studies reported on observed clinical features of AD.
conclusionsThe review confirmed a lack of literature describing AD in populations of non-European heritage. It should encourage authors to make a deliberate effort to describe the appearance of clinical features of AD to enable understanding of how they may differentiate in individuals originating from different parts of the globe.
