Unmet Medical Needs and Early Referral of Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis: An Expert Modified Delphi Consensus from Saudi Arabia.
Article in Dermatology research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease with increasing prevalence worldwide. It is characterized by pruritic eczematous lesions, affecting up to 20% of the children and negatively impacting their quality of life. Guidelines for AD management are available worldwide, but specific guidelines for pediatric AD in Saudi Arabia are lacking. This consensus document aims to identify the needs for the diagnosis and management of pediatric AD in Saudi Arabia by gathering the opinions and recommendations of key experts. We conducted a three-step modified Delphi method to develop the present consensus. The experts agreed that pediatricians and dermatologists commonly encounter AD; however, it is still under-recognized in its early stage in Saudi Arabia. The family physicians should be involved in assessing suspected children with a family history of atopy, particularly in patients with isolated lesions. Further, the experts confirmed that AD diagnosis should be documented, showing assessment criteria used, key morphological characteristics, and features used to ascertain the severity of the disease. There is still a need for simple validated diagnostic criteria suitable for daily practice for pediatric AD. The experts highlighted several medical conditions that pertain to the diagnosis and management of AD in Saudi Arabia.
