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

Skin inflammation, known as atopic dermatitis (AD), is often accompanied by various psychological disorders. The objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the impact of AD on stress, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. A comprehensive search was conducted using nine databases. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). ORs were generated to analyze the results. Thirty-one articles met the requirements for inclusion, with 25 deemed of good quality and six of fair quality. A positive association was observed between AD and stress (OR = 1.546; 95% CI: 1.445-1.653; p = 0.000), depression (OR = 1.140; 95% CI: 1.127-1.153; p = 0.000), anxiety (OR = 1.080; 95% CI: 1.063-1.097; p = 0.000), and suicidal ideation (OR = 1.158; 95% CI: 1.144-1.172; p = 0.000). Interestingly, a significant publication bias was found in the outcomes related to depression and anxiety. This analysis suggests that AD significantly impacts the psychological well-being of patients. Stress, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation are among the mental health issues commonly associated with AD. Therefore, clinicians should consider mental health evaluations for patients with AD.
