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

backgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease in childhood. Interleukin 17 (IL17) is one of the pro-inflammatory cytokines that has an important role in the pathogenesis of many skin diseases including AD. Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is an indicator of oxidative stress, inflammation and ischemia. The aim of the study was to assess the IL-17 and IMA serum levels in the children patients with AD in comparison to a control group. Additionally, the study seeks to examine the correlation between these biomarkers and their association with disease severity, disease stages, and other clinical characteristics.

methodsThe case-control study enrolled two groups: (patient group: 50 children with AD) and (control group: 50 healthy age and sex-matched children). Full history was taken from all cases along with full dermatologic examination. The assessment of AD severity was conducted by using Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). Evaluation of IL-17 and IMA was performed by using ELISA technique.

resultsThere was a statistically significant elevation in the mean levels of IL-17 and IMA in patients with AD compared to the control group. A strong positive correlation was observed between IL-17 and IMA levels. Additionally, both IL-17 and IMA levels exhibited a statistically significant negative correlation with the duration of the disease and the age of the patients.

conclusionThe elevated serum levels of IL17 and IMA and their positive correlation confirm that AD is a systemic inflammatory disease influenced and associated with increased oxidative stress.
