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

This study investigated the efficacy of clustered care delivered via an online platform for adult atopic dermatitis patients. Ninety-eight atopic dermatitis patients from the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University (May 2022-May 2024) were randomly assigned to a study group (online clustered care) or a control group (routine care), with 49 in each. Outcomes, including itch severity (Visual Analogue Scale), atopic dermatitis severity (SCORAD), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index), were assessed at baseline and 3 months post-intervention. After 3 ≈months, the study group showed significantly lower itch severity (p < 0.001), improved skin lesions, lesion area, and subjective symptoms (all p < 0.001), better sleep quality (p = 0.030), and enhanced quality of life (p < 0.001) compared with the control group. Clustered care through an online platform significantly reduces itch severity and improves sleep quality and overall disease management in atopic dermatitis patients, offering a promising clinical approach.
