Correlation Analysis of Clinician- and Patient-Reported Outcomes Among Japanese Adults with Atopic Dermatitis.

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) is a chronic relapsing condition with high disease burden and impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Correlations between clinician- and patient-reported outcomes tend to be poor, and limited data in Asian patients are available.
methodsADDRESS-J was a prospective, non-interventional, longitudinal study that evaluated the real-world effectiveness and safety of AD treatment in Japanese adults (aged 20-59 years) with moderate-to-severe AD. Three clinician-reported AD severity outcomes (Investigator's Global Assessment, Eczema Area and Severity Index, and body surface area affected), three dermatological patient-reported outcomes (Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure, Dermatology Life Quality Index, and Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale), and two general HRQoL patient-reported outcomes (5-dimension EuroQoL questionnaire and EuroQol Visual Analog Scale) were collected at baseline and every 3 months throughout the 24-month observation period. Four biomarkers were also analyzed when available (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine [TARC], lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], total immunoglobulin E [IgE], and peripheral blood eosinophil counts [PB EOS]). Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated using all available pooled data from baseline through 24 months.
resultsCorrelations between the three clinician-reported outcomes were high/very high (Spearman's correlation coefficients 0.76-0.92); those between the three dermatological patient-reported outcomes were moderate (0.53-0.64), and those between the clinician-reported and dermatological patient-reported outcomes were low/moderate (0.37-0.51). Correlations between the general HRQoL patient-reported outcomes and the clinician-reported and dermatological patient-reported outcomes were negligible-moderate (0.26-0.60). Biomarker correlations with the clinician-reported and dermatological patient-reported outcomes were low/moderate for TARC and LDH (0.44-0.63), but negligible/low for PB EOS and total IgE (0.01-0.41).
conclusionsThese results show that clinician- and patient-reported outcomes do not necessarily correlate well in Japanese adults with AD. This highlights the importance of including patient-reported outcomes when assessing disease severity/impact, planning treatment, and assessing response to treatment.
