Infections in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis and the Influence of Treatment.
Review in American journal of clinical dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 T helper 2-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects children and adults. Patients with AD are prone to recurrent infections of the skin and other organs, which can severely worsen the disease course. This review summarises the current evidence on the aetiology, pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of infections in patients with AD. PubMed was searched for English-language research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and guidelines published until February 2023 using the key term "atopic dermatitis" and terms relevant to infections. Patients with AD have an increased risk of bacterial, viral and fungal infections of the skin, mainly due to impaired barrier function, altered immune response and frequent scratching. The most common pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus and herpes simplex virus, which can cause impetigo, folliculitis, abscesses, eczema herpeticum and other complications. They also appear to increase susceptibility to systemic infections, including respiratory and urinary tract infections and sepsis. Certain systemic treatments for AD, such as mycophenolate mofetil and Janus kinase inhibitors, increase the risk of viral infections. Prevention and treatment of recurrent infections in patients with AD require a multifaceted approach that includes topical and systemic antimicrobials, skin care and effective control of AD symptoms (to break the itch-scratch cycle). Preventing and limiting the development of infections are important considerations in choosing an AD treatment.
