The effect of open to air frequency on diaper dermatitis recovery and maternal self-efficacy in infants aged 0-3 months: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07268352 (The Effect of Ventilation Frequency on Diaper Dermatitis Recovery and Maternal Self-Efficacy in Infants Aged 0-3 Months), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundDiaper dermatitis is a common condition affecting infants aged 0-3 months, often leading to physical discomfort and psychological distress for parents. Traditional management focuses on skin protection, yet the impact of open to air on recovery is under-researched. This study aims to evaluate the effects of different open to air frequencies on diaper dermatitis recovery and maternal self-efficacy.
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted with 130 infants diagnosed with mild diaper dermatitis. Participants were assigned to two groups: Group A received 5 min of diaper-free air exposure 6 times a day, while Group B received the same duration 12 times a day. Data were collected using the Uncomplicated Diaper Dermatitis Severity Rating Scale (UDDSRSI) and the Perceived Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale (PMSS) at baseline and upon resolution of dermatitis.
resultsThe recovery duration was significantly shorter in Group B (1.98 ± 1.22 days) compared to Group A (3.23 ± 1.01 days; p = 0.002). Maternal self-efficacy scores increased significantly in both groups, with Group B showing a greater improvement (Group A: 61.51 ± 8.61 to 66.81 ± 8.74; Group B: 65.00 ± 6.92 to 75.21 ± 3.93; p < 0.001). Regression analysis indicated that the intervention in Group B significantly enhanced maternal self-efficacy (β = 8.40, t = 8.801, p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study demonstrates that increased open to air frequency effectively shortens diaper dermatitis recovery time and enhances maternal self-efficacy. These findings suggest that simple, cost-effective interventions can significantly benefit both infant dermatological health and maternal psychological well-being, offering valuable insights for pediatric care practices.
