Multidimensional Burden of Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis in Adolescent and Adult Patients from Portugal and Greece: Results from the Global Cross-Sectional Study MEASURE-AD.
Article in Dermatology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionDespite significant progress observed in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), a considerable number of patients with severe disease are undertreated and have inadequate symptom control. This may be due to several reasons, such as underestimation of the implications of the disease on patients, families, and society, as well as inconsistent access to effective treatment. The multidimensional disease burden of AD includes other atopic comorbidities, sleep disturbance, and functional impairment and secondary consequences, including neuropsychiatric issues (anxiety and depression) and reduced health-related quality of life.
methodsMEASURE-AD was a global, cross-sectional observational study in adolescents and adults with moderate-to-severe AD, conducted to describe disease burden, treatment patterns, and healthcare resource utilization.
resultsThe results concerning patients from Portugal and Greece indicate moderate-to-severe disease for most of the population with frequent disease flares. The quality of life of both adolescents and adults was greatly affected, mainly owing to itch. One out of five patients perceived that their treatment was not effectively controlling AD. Disease resulted in important out-of-pocket expenses and loss of productivity.
conclusionsUnderstanding and recognizing the complex burden of moderate-to-severe AD is required to encourage and guide changes in public policy for the effective management of patients.
