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
Nickel allergy is common among children. The present study investigated prevalence trends of self-reported nickel allergy, risk factors, and atopic comorbidity among children. Eight-year-old children from Norrbotten County, Sweden, were recruited in 1996 (n = 3,430), 2006 (n = 2,585), and 2017 (n = 2,785). Self-reported nickel allergy decreased from 7.7% (2006) to 6.1% (2017; p = 0.024) and was significantly more common among girls. In 1996, only children with atopic dermatitis answered questions on nickel allergy. Among children with atopic dermatitis, no significant decrease was seen over the years 1996 to 2017. Ear piercing (odds ratio [OR] 1.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39-2.68 and OR 5.57, 95% CI 3.71-8.38) and female sex (OR 4.05, 95% CI 2.68-6.13 and OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.09-2.74) were risk factors for self-reported nickel allergy in 2006 and 2017, respectively. Self-reported nickel allergy was significantly more prevalent among children with atopic dermatitis than without in 2006 (12.3% vs 6.4%; p < 0.001) and 2017 (11.5% vs 5.1%; p < 0.001), and among children with allergic rhinitis in 2017 (8.6% vs 4.7%; p = 0.015). In conclusion, we found a decreasing prevalence of self-reported nickel allergy, but not among children with atopic dermatitis. Ear piercing and female sex were strongly associated with nickel allergy. Our findings also suggest that nickel allergy is associated with atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis.
