Original evidence cut-off: 2026-09-07  
Review-criteria version: 1.0  
Public page/material preparation date: 2026-10-19

Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: The stored materials concern moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Hon's 40 completed and 14 nonadherent and the review's 10 trials and 307 participants are kept in their respective contexts. Trial-specific age, diagnosis, severity, eligibility and outcome-specific denominators are unverified; no new participant total is created.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: The intervention is dilute sodium-hypochlorite bathing added to standard care. Continued emollients and topical treatment are distinguished from simultaneous antibiotic changes in some trials. Trial-specific products, concentrations, ingredients, quality and actual exposure are unverified; no new dilution, treatment or procedural instructions are created.
- Dose: Hon's schedule of 2 times per week and 4 weeks per period is preserved as a study record. A formulation name is not a quantitative dose; final concentrations, products, actual exposure and adherence details are unverified. This schedule is not converted into personal-use instructions or an optimal dose.
- Comparator: Hon's same-water control is distinguished from usual-care comparisons in the stored narrative. Original materials are needed to map shared bathing, contact, emollients, topical treatment and antibiotic changes. Common improvement is not converted into an ingredient-specific added effect, and different controls are not combined as the same comparison.
- Measured outcome: The selection is improved clinician-rated atopic-dermatitis severity, retaining original subclaim C and absent individual score, status and axes. Hon's SCORAD, affected area and topical medication outcomes are distinguished from the review's EASI and EASI-50. A small pooled signal and a null water-controlled trial are both preserved without transferring effects to patient reports, colonization or infection or issuing new efficacy or equivalence judgments.
- Duration: Hon's 4-week crossover periods are separated from the parent narrative of a more favorable 8-week trial. Exact links to the 8-week report, arms and outcomes and information on washout, carryover and long-term persistence are unverified. The Wong bibliography alone does not fill duration-specific findings, and short-term results are not extended into long-term efficacy or safety.
- Questions outside this scope: SCORAD, affected area, EASI, EASI-50, patient reports, colonization and clinical infection are not merged into one outcome.; Original arm direction, denominators, timing and Bayesian credible intervals are retained; no new effects, differences or totals are calculated.; Wong's citation-only summary and Bakaa's meta-analysis evidence are distinguished; original trials, reports and review populations are not double counted.; Same-water controls and usual care are distinguished, and improvement under shared treatment is not converted into an effect of the bleach ingredient alone.; Original subclaim C and parent C50 context are retained without creating new concentrations, dilution methods, procedural or treatment guidance, or safety certification.

### N25 · How do Hon funding details relate to the parent public-funding wording?

Verification status: Unverified  
Reading scope: Stored summary read; external papers, abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols, analysis plans and support materials unread

- Current findings: The Hon evidence leaves specific funding and COI unverified. The parent explanation describes a publicly funded water-controlled trial as a strength; both original statements are retained.
- Why unverified: Information was transferred from the stored summary while distinguishing the existing selected question from parent material. Detailed originals are unverified and review of existing content remains incomplete. This does not establish clinical certification or a passed content review.
- Reason for missing information: Original Hon support, author-affiliation and COI materials and source mapping for the parent statement are needed. Public-funding wording does not fill individual support fields as verified.
- Required materials and conditions: Report-specific funding, product support, employee authors and conflicts
- Materials to obtain first: Original Hon support, author-affiliation and COI materials and source mapping for the parent statement are needed. Public-funding wording does not fill individual support fields as verified.
- Further research: Material needed: Original Hon support, author-affiliation and COI materials and source mapping for the parent statement are needed. Public-funding wording does not fill individual support fields as verified. This records needed materials; no new research was executed.
- Conditions for verification: Original material and analysis scope for Report-specific funding, product support, employee authors and conflicts must be linked to the report's severity outcomes, between-arm comparisons, denominators and timing, distinguishing stored summaries, unverified details, original trials versus reviews and different outcomes.
- Why this condition is needed: This condition links Report-specific funding, product support, employee authors and conflicts with populations, formulations, water controls, concurrent care, outcomes, denominators, timing, analyses, precision, support and harms for the selected clinician-rated severity question.
- Application exceptions: Retain original subclaim C and absent individual score, status and axes without filling a subclaim score with parent C50. Distinguish SCORAD, affected area, EASI, EASI-50, patient reports, colonization and infection. Do not fill Wong's citation-only context with Bakaa evidence or combine water, usual care, concurrent treatment, denominators, timing or Bayesian intervals. No new effects, independent totals, concentrations, dilution or treatment instructions are created.
- Remaining uncertainty: External originals are unread and review of existing content remains incomplete. The small EASI signal, null water-controlled trial and original subclaim C are retained alongside gaps in direct net effects, prespecified plans, arm-specific denominators, crossover analyses, precision, concurrent care, support and harms.

Independent replication: Hon, Wong and Bakaa are preserved reports shared across existing questions. The review of 10 trials and 307 participants and Hon 40 completed remain separate contexts. Review inclusion, overlap and unique trial, participant and independent-replication totals are unverified. Shared summaries are not counted as new independent replications or added to a total.

## Review criteria and methods

These are Chamgap's own application conditions, informed by the relevant sections of official methodological guidance. They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score.

- M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M04 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5.1 (2025), chapter updated 2025-03](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-04) · §4.5, §4.6.1–4.6.3, MECIR C42 · Distinguish studies from reports and link them; do not omit a study solely because results are unreported. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Partial information from the stored summary is linked; detailed originals and content review remain incomplete.
- Unverified: Required details cannot be established within the preserved scope. This does not establish absence of effects or studies, or safety.
- Review incomplete: Review of existing content remains incomplete.
- Met: This state is used only within the relevant conditions after material verification and content review. It was not automatically assigned in this work.
- Not reported: Unreported within material actually read. Unread external material is not relabeled as unreported.
- Inaccessible: This means actual access failure. External access was not attempted in this work, so this state was not assigned.
- Not applicable: Used only with an application exception and reason based on the question scope.
- Conflicting data: This requires actual comparison of materials; no new conflict judgment was made in this work.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: This indicates gaps in additional material for the selected conditions. Unread material as a whole is not converted into an efficacy grade.
