Evaluating a School-Based Public Health Intervention for Self-Management in Children with Atopic Dermatitis: A Non-Randomized Controlled Study.

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
purposeThis study evaluated the effectiveness of a school-based experiential self-management program for children with atopic dermatitis (AD) based on Roy's adaptation theory. DESIGN AND
methodsData were collected from June to August 2021, with 33 children in the experimental group and 32 in the control group. Participants were 10- to 11-year-old elementary school children who reported having AD symptoms within the past year and were able to complete self-report questionnaires. The program consisted of seven weekly school-based sessions that included disease education, symptom management techniques, skin care practices, nutritional guidance, and self-esteem enhancement activities. Outcomes, including AD severity, disease-related knowledge, adaptive behavior, self-esteem, and quality of life, were measured at baseline, post-intervention, and four weeks post-intervention using Generalized Estimating Equation analysis.
resultsThe experimental group showed significant improvements in AD severity (SCORAD: 22.80 ± 3.18 to 17.75 ± 2.24), disease-related knowledge (10.64 ± 2.00 to 13.64 ± 1.39), adaptive behavior (3.55 ± 1.70 to 10.58 ± 2.45), self-esteem (26.18 ± 4.76 to 31.55 ± 3.46), and quality of life (90.24 ± 11.07 to 100.27 ± 9.76), while the control group remained unchanged. Improvements were sustained four weeks post-intervention.
conclusionsThis program effectively reduced AD severity and enhanced knowledge, adaptive behavior, self-esteem, and quality of life in children with AD. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: School-based self-management programs effectively enhance disease knowledge, adaptive behaviors, and quality of life in children with AD.
