Claim C-0006

Indoor combustion of household fuels shows no conclusive link with atopic dermatitis: the pooled odds ratio of 1.158 falls to 1.040 once publication bias is corrected.

Structure

Source: Indoor fuel combustion
Outcome: Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
Relation: no-clear-effect · pooled odds ratio 1.158 (95 % CI 1.051–1.276), corrected 1.040 (95 % CI 0.930–1.164)
Evidence grade: B · mixed
Caveat: the conclusion is the review's own after correction for publication bias; the uncorrected pooled estimate is significant and is kept as the counter-evidence

Based on

Finding F-0004: “The trim-and-fill method yielded an adjusted OR of 1.040 (95% CI [0.930, 1.164]), and parametric selection models produced similarly null results (e.g., standard selection model adjusted OR = 1.000, 95% CI [0.992, 1.008]).” (CKB 1424, p. 1)

Counter-evidence

Finding F-0003: “The initial pooled analysis revealed a weak but statistically significant positive association between indoor fuel use and AD risk (pooled OR = 1.158, 95% CI [1.051, 1.276], p = 0.0031), with moderate between-study heterogeneity (I2 = 43.0%, p = 0.0195).” (CKB 1424, p. 1)
