1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common recurrent chronic inflammatory skin disease, and there is increasing evidence of a possible association between AD and autoimmune diseases. Objectives: This study aimed to summarize existing epidemiological studies on the association between AD and autoimmune diseases and to perform a meta-analysis of combinable results. Methods: We conducted a thorough search for cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional studies across the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases, from their inception to May 24, 2024, using medical subject headings and relevant keywords. All data were meticulously analyzed using Stata statistical software version 17.0. The protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024547282). Result: A total of 26 cohort studies, comprising 1,629,723 patients with atopic dermatitis and 15,106,889 control subjects, were included in this meta-analysis. These studies were published between 2014 and 2024 and included 19 cohort studies, 2 case-control studies, and 5 cross-sectional studies. The current study demonstrated a significant association of atopic dermatitis with autoimmune diseases[HR 1.49, 95% CI (1.31-1.70); Conclusion: The results of our study indicate a clear association between atopic dermatitis and autoimmune diseases, both in adults and children. Additionally, women were more likely to have autoimmune disease complications than men. However, due to the limited number of participants in our study, further research is needed to thoroughly investigate the relationship.
