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

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) might delay puberty, but research is lacking. Objective: To investigate the association between AD and puberty. Methods: A subcohort within the Danish National Birth Cohort includes children born between 2000 and 2003, with mothers reporting doctor-diagnosed AD at 6 months, 18 months, and 7 years old. The National Patient Registry identified hospital-diagnosed AD. From 11 years, the children give half-yearly information on pubertal development. We estimated the mean age difference in months at attaining Tanner stages 1 to 5 and the development of axillary hair, acne, first ejaculation, voice break, and age at menarche, using an interval-censored regression model. Results: In total, 15,534 children participated, 21.5% had self-reported doctor-diagnosed AD and 0.7% had hospital-diagnosed AD. For girls with self-reported doctor-diagnosed AD, the average age difference at reaching all pubertal milestones was 0.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.8; 0.8), and for hospital-diagnosed AD, it was -0.3 months (95% CI: -5.4; 4.8). For boys, the average age difference was 0.1 months (95% CI: -0.6; 0.9) and -0.3 months (95% CI: -3.6; 3.0), respectively. Limitations: No information on treatment was available. Missing data on covariates (<5%) were not addressed. Conclusion: No association was found between AD and puberty in either girls or boys.
