Abstract
Retraction: Pimecrolimus cream 1% in the management of atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients: a meta-analysis.
Highlights
After the publication of the article, a group of readers raised concerns about several aspects of the methodology for the metaanalysis and the interpretation of the results
* The interpretation of the reduction in Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) score is incorrect (Figure 2), a greater reduction in IGA scores indicates a positive event and the analysis shows a beneficial effect of the intervention pimecrolimus
* Figure 3 is incorrectly labelled, the label ’control’ should read ’tacrolimus’, the interpretation of the results does not take into consideration the direction of the outcome
