Healthcare of patients with atopic dermatitis by general practitioners - a nationwide survey in Germany.
Article in Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology : JDDG, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesEpidemiological studies on the health care of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) in dermatological treatment in Germany indicate no improvements within 10 years. In addition to dermatologists, general practitioners (GPs) are particularly involved in AD treatment. This study analyzed the health care situation of adult patients with AD by GPs. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe cross-sectional questionnaire survey "PsoADA" was conducted from 2019 to 2021 in general practices throughout Germany and the results were compared with previous data from dermatology care (AtopicHealth2, 2017-19).
resultsAmong 150 patients (mean age: 40 years, 62.2% female), 39.2% received additional treatment by a dermatologist (GP+D). 20.7% of GP+D and 5.7% of patients in GP treatment only (GP only) had severe AD (p < 0.01, AtopicHealth2: 27.6%). Major limitations in quality of life were reported by 31.0% (GP+D) versus 3.4% (GP only) (p < 0.001, AtopicHealth2: 31.6%). Most patients received topicals, mainly glucocorticosteroids. Calcineurin inhibitors were currently administered by 2.7% (PsoADA total). Patient education was reported by 5.7% (PsoADA total).
conclusionsA considerable proportion of patients with AD in GP care shows poor outcomes, as has been observed in dermatological care - possibly due to the lack of use of modern systemic therapy.
