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

backgroundThe interest toward the association between atopic dermatitis (AD) and obesity is increasing, yet the possibility of abnormal lipid metabolism has never been investigated before.

objectiveTo identify the characteristics of patients with AD who are obese and analyze the serum lipid profiles of these patients.

methodsThis observational study included 167 patients diagnosed with AD and underwent evaluations for serum lipid panels between July 2017 and October 2017. The patients' body mass index was used to determine obesity and the serum lipid panels were analyzed between patients who are obese and non-obese. Also, the disease severity and subjective symptoms were evaluated and serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and specific IgE levels were assessed.

resultsOf the 167 patients with AD, there were 36 obese and 131 non-obese subjects. Obese patients were found to have a significantly higher disease severity, as well as higher serum triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels and lower high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, which was most pronounced in adult males. Obesity AD patients also had a significantly higher serum total IgE, itch intensity score, and number of allergens sensitized.

conclusionPatients with AD who are obese should be monitored for possible abnormalities in lipid metabolism. Obesity may be a factor that contributes to a higher disease severity of AD.
