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
Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 waves on mental health, pandemic-related wellbeing, and social functioning in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and without AD in the Dutch general population. Methods: Between 2020 and 2022, 31 COVID-19 questionnaires (COVQs) were sent to 140,145 Lifelines adult participants, collecting data on mental health [major depression disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)], pandemic-related wellbeing [COVID-19-related concerns, quality of life (QoL)], and social functioning (loneliness, social relations). AD information was collected through a digital questionnaire sent to all Lifelines adults in 2020. Data were divided into three waves according to the COVID-19 timeline in the Netherlands: March-June 2020 (wave 1); July 2020-June 2021 (wave 2); July 2021-October 2022 (wave 3). Generalized linear mixed models were performed for each outcome. Results: In total, 49,216 participants with 790,936 completed COVQs were included. Compared with wave 1, almost all health-related outcomes, including the prevalence of MDD and GAD, COVID-19-related concerns, loneliness, and QoL, had returned to similar levels by wave 3 in the overall population, while social relations remained impaired. Furthermore, participants with moderate-to-severe AD, women, young adults (18-29 years), and those with a history of mental health problems showed worse health-related outcomes than their counterparts. Conclusion: Both participants with and without moderate-to-severe AD showed partial recovery in mental health and wellbeing by the third COVID-19 wave; however, social relations remained impaired. Individual with moderate-to-severe AD, women, younger adults, and those with pre-existing mental health problems were more affected overall. Future studies should focus on developing strategies to improve social connectedness, and vulnerable groups warrant continued attention.
