Developing a Core Outcome Set for Netherton Syndrome: An International Multi-Stakeholder e-Delphi Consensus Study.

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
introductionNetherton syndrome (NS; OMIM#256500) is a rare and severe disorder of epidermal maturation and keratinization caused by pathogenic variants in the serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 5 (SPINK5), leading to severe skin barrier impairment. Although effective treatment is crucial for NS patients, there is a lack of knowledge on what the best treatment options are for these patients. Large heterogeneity in reported outcomes and measurement instruments hinders accurate comparison of treatment results across studies and the development of a treatment guideline. Therefore, we aimed to develop a core outcome set (COS) for NS that can be used in clinical care and research.
methodsThis study was performed in accordance with the recommendations of the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) initiative. After identification of outcomes through a literature search and classification based on the International Classification of Functioning and taxonomies published by the COMET initiative, discussion groups were organized at the 2nd International Netherton Congress 2022 to finalize the provisional outcome list. Through a 2-round e-Delphi, 41 stakeholders (patients and family members, professionals, and representatives of industry) from 14 countries rated the importance of the outcomes using a 9-point Likert scale. An online consensus meeting attended by 14 stakeholders finalized the COS.
resultsThe COS for NS comprised 21 outcomes in 10 domains. These included four "skin" outcomes, two "sensation" outcomes, two "side-effects of treatment" outcomes, one "vitality" outcome, one "emotional functioning" outcome, two "physical development" outcomes, two "nutrition" outcomes, two "infections" outcomes, two "allergies" outcomes, and three "assessment results" outcomes.
conclusionIn this study, consensus was reached on 21 outcomes to be included in the COS for NS. The selection of outcomes in the COS underlines that NS not only affects the skin but is a disease requiring a broad multidisciplinary approach in clinical care and research. International implementation of this COS will lead to more uniform reporting, thereby enabling comparison of study results, which may facilitate future treatment guideline development. The next step is to further conceptually define the outcomes and reach consensus on how to measure these.
