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: Pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD), a common chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder, often co-occurs with iron deficiency. However, the causal relationship and mechanisms linking iron homeostasis to AD pathogenesis remain unclear. This study investigates etiopathogenetic role of iron deficiency in childhood AD by analyzing molecular pathways and clinical impacts on disease progression. Methods: We have enrolled 298 pediatric AD patients based on the Hanifin and Rajka criteria to evaluate the relationship between peripheral iron and the severity of AD, as well as the levels of serum iron, ferritin, and transferrin in children with AD. The percentages of Th2 cells and IL-10-producing CD24 Results: Children with severe AD have lower levels of iron ions in peripheral blood compared with the mild patients ( Conclusion: Iron deficiency contributes to Th2 cell expansion in pediatric AD via DNA methylation and TIGIT suppression in IL-10-producing Breg cells.
