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

backgroundAtopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that poses a substantial burden on patients' physical health, as well as on their psychological health and quality of life. This study specifically examines active disease phases (excluding spontaneous remission periods) to investigate the efficacy of continuous treatments on the psychological state and life quality of patients with atopic dermatitis.

aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of continuous treatment strategies, including dermatological care, psychological counseling, education, and long-term follow-up, on the psychological state and quality of life in patients with atopic dermatitis.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on 120 atopic dermatitis patients treated at our hospital between June 2023 and May 2024. A total of 120 patients were randomly assigned into control and intervention groups (60 patients each). The control group underwent routine treatment, and the intervention group was treated using continuous treatment strategies, including personalized skin care plan, psychological counseling, patient education, and long-term follow-up. Quality of life and psychological status of patients were assessed using the dermatology life quality index and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

resultsAt 12 months post-intervention, the dermatology life quality index scores in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (

conclusionContinuous treatment for atopic dermatitis patients greatly improve their psychological state and quality of life, enhance disease-free survival, and offer new trains of thought for clinical treatment. Personalized integrated management over a prolonged time is important to improve quality of life in such patients.
