Filaggrin Mutation Status and Prevention of Atopic Dermatitis with Maternal Probiotic Supplementation.
Trial report in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The World Allergy Organization recommends probiotics in the prevention of atopic dermatitis in high-risk populations. Mutations in the filaggrin gene (FLG) result in an increased risk of atopic dermatitis through disruption of the skin keratin layer. This exploratory study investigated whether the preventive effect of maternal probiotics was evident in children with and without FLG mutations. DNA was collected from children (n = 228) from the Probiotic in the Prevention of Allergy among Children in Trondheim (ProPACT) study. Samples were analysed for 3 common FLG mutations (R501X, R2447X, and 2282del4). Overall, 7% of children had heterozygous FLG mutations; each child had only one of the 3 mutations. Mutation status had no association with atopic dermatitis (RR = 1.1; 95% CI 0.5 to 2.3). The risk ratio (RR) for having atopic dermatitis following maternal probiotics was 0.6 (95% CI 0.4 to 0.9) and RR was similar if the child expressed an FLG mutation (RR = 0.6; 95% CI 0.1 to 4.1) or wildtype FLG (RR = 0.6; 95% CI 0.4 to 0.9). The preventive effect of probiotics for atopic dermatitis was also evident in children without FLG mutation. Larger confirmatory studies are needed.
