Record level: Outcome wording in the stored summary  
Independent replication: The UK online Eczema Bathing Study and ISRCTN12016473 describe a parallel-group superiority trial of 438 people (220/218), aged at least 1 year with POEM scores of at least 3, comparing once or twice weekly with at least six times weekly for 4 weeks. Both arms continued usual moisturizers/topical treatment, participant masking was impossible, and the primary model contained 388 people (193/195). Week-4 responders 169/171, the unverified cream-use-day denominator, and safety-specific denominators 165/168/170 are distinct. The same trial, reports, participants, arms, weeks, and selected sheets sharing the same material are not summed as independent trials/participants. Report/material entries are not totals of unique clinical trials, participants, or independent replications; unique totals remain unrecorded. Cardona’s pediatric single-masked crossover trial preserves the evidence-list year 2019 separately from the citation’s 2020 issue and 2019 DOI. Its 42 allocated participants, 40 completers, 2 weeks, primary SCORAD, and combined bathing frequency/duration with immediate moisturization describe a different protocol. It is not direct replication of the current comparison, POEM responders, or cream-use days. Crossover periods, sequence, washout, publication stage, funding, and registration details are unverified. Selected sheets sharing material and report/material entries are not summed as unique trials, participants, or independent replications; unique totals remain unrecorded. Hua’s synthesis of 13 prospective studies preserves evidence-list/manuscript 2020 separately from citation issue 2021 and DOI 2020. Its original conclusion of few, heterogeneous protocols, eczema severity, and unclear optimal frequency is retained. Included/related trial overlap, population/endpoint denominators, and publication stages remain unverified; it is not counted as independent RCT, responder, or cream-use-day replication. Selected sheets sharing material and report/material entries are not summed as unique trials, participants, or independent replications; unique totals remain unrecorded.

Cardona ID et al. 2019 pediatric soak-and-seal trial

[PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31733336/)

Materials actually read: Summary read; external material unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: In the historical study, twice-daily 15–20-minute soak-and-seal produced a 21.2-point greater SCORAD reduction than twice-weekly bathing for at most 10 minutes (95% CI 14.9 to 27.6), P<0.0001. These values belong to a different protocol/scale and are not converted into POEM points, response rates, or cream-use days. Unverified registration, abstract support classification with supporting institution unestablished, and evidence-list/citation year differences are preserved and not backdated as external verification in this work.

Hua T et al. 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis

[PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33196889/)

Materials actually read: Summary read; external material unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: The original conclusion was that daily washing was not associated with worse severity, but studies were few and heterogeneous, leaving optimal frequency unclear. This does not verify optimal frequency, all safety, or the selected responder/use-day effects. Gaps in included studies, endpoint-specific values, review support/conflicts/plans, and original year differences are retained.

## What the statuses mean

- Met: Status for necessary evidence confirmed after existing content review. No completion is declared in the current presentation.
- Partly verified: Some information in the stored summary is linked into the table. External comparison/content review is not complete.
- Unverified: The article leaves this unverified, or required material is absent from the current stored summary. This is distinct from zero, absence or safety.
- Review incomplete: Existing content review remains incomplete.
- Not reported: Not reported within the stored material actually read; not extended to the entire primary paper.
- Inaccessible: Means an actual access failure. Access not attempted here is not assigned this state.
- Not applicable: Not used as a substitute for an evidence gap.
- Conflicting data: Requires an observed disagreement under the same comparison criteria; not automatically judged in this production.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Marks a gap in additional material required by the selected conditions; not a new efficacy grade.
