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

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of combined treatment with compound fluocinolone acetonide cream and guaiazulene in patients with neurodermatitis.

methodsA prospective study was conducted on 92 outpatient patients diagnosed with neurodermatitis at our dermatology department from January 2022 to December 2023. Using a random number table, these patients were evenly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 46 individuals in each group. The control group received treatment with compound fluocinolone acetonide alone, while the experimental group additionally received oral guaiazulene tablets. Clinical symptom and sign scores, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, skin lesion itching scores, comprehensive efficacy, treatment onset time, adverse reactions, and quality of life were monitored, recorded, and compared.

resultsIn the 2-week treatment period, patients in the experimental group showed significant improvement in skin symptoms and signs, with scores significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, VAS and skin lesion itching scores in the experimental group were significantly reduced (P < 0.05), demonstrating a more pronounced therapeutic advantage compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Although the effective rate in the experimental group was as high as 86.96%, there was no significant advantage compared to the control group, and the difference in treatment efficacy was not significant (P > 0.05). The treatment onset time in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the incidence of adverse reactions was lower (P < 0.05). The quality of life in the experimental group improved significantly after treatment, with DLQI scores lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).

conclusionCombined treatment with compound fluocinolone acetonide cream and guaiazulene demonstrates excellent efficacy and feasibility in the management of neurodermatitis. Compared to standard treatment alone, it yields superior clinical outcomes.
