Bullying in Children With Congenital Ichthyosis.
Article in Pediatric dermatology. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesBullying of children with chronic disorders is associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Congenital ichthyoses are genodermatoses with extensive visible scaling and inflammation. Bullying is a frequent concern of families with ichthyosis but is rarely discussed or investigated.
methodsBullying experience and the impact on children with ichthyosis and their caregivers were investigated utilizing survey methodology and validated questionnaires. Correlations were explored between demographic and ichthyosis characteristics, bullying exposure (Child Adolescent Bullying Scale-9), child and caregiver psychosocial functioning (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System tools), and family quality of life (Family Dermatology Life Quality Index).
resultsOverall, 49 dyads completed the survey, with a mean child age of 12 years, 43% female, and 35% non-white. Lamellar (27%), epidermolytic (16%), and with confetti (12%) ichthyosis subtypes were most common. Child-reported bullying exposure correlated strongly with poor peer relationships (r = -0.63) and moderately with stigma (r = 0.53). Caregiver depression and anxiety scores were moderately correlated with caregiver's perception of child's bullying (r = 0.46 and r = 0.52, respectively). Poor family quality of life (QoL) was moderately correlated with proxy severity, caregiver depression and anxiety, poor peer relationships, and poor mobility.
conclusionsRecognition of bullying and its potential impact on QoL is an important component of exploring the psychosocial impact of ichthyosis and providing holistic care.
