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
<p>Introduction: Research on atopic dermatitis (AD) in children has predominantly focused on European and Western populations. Although there is evidence suggesting a connection between sociodemographic and cultural factors and AD, studies involving Asian populations are notably limited. This study profiled filaggrin (FLG) loss-of-function (LOF) variants, estimated their prevalence, and investigated the association between sociodemographic and cultural factors with AD among children in Indonesia, one of the most densely populated developing countries in Asia.
methodsA case-control study was conducted at the Pediatric Dermatology Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in Bandung, the capital city of West Java, Indonesia. Children were included from April to December 2022. AD was diagnosed using Hanifin and Rajka criteria. Controls were children without AD of similar age and sex. Sociodemographic data were collected. We sequenced the coding region of FLG using single-molecule molecular inversion probes and next-generation sequencing. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic characteristics. Univariate and multivariate analysis estimated adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsWe enrolled 218 participants. FLG LOF variants were 3.6% in AD and 1.9% in controls; detected variants included c.7487del, c.2282_2285del, and c.1501C>T. Parental history of atopy is significantly associated with children developing AD, with aOR of 6.59 (95% CI: 3.18-13.63) for mothers and aOR of 3.86 (95% CI: 1.73-8.62) for fathers. After adjustment, sociodemographic and cultural variables were not statistically significant in multivariate models.
conclusionIn Indonesian children, FLG LOF variants were infrequent, contrasting with European cohorts. Parental atopy remained a strong determinant, and no independent associations with sociodemographic or cultural factors were detected. </p>.
