1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE; syn LE-specific skin disease) is an autoimmune disease with well-defined skin manifestations often accentuated in a photodistribution and frequently associated with specific autoantibodies. These clinical observations have led to numerous laboratory studies related to the role of ultraviolet light, as well as studies of the cascade of immunologic events involved in the pathogenesis of cutaneous LE. We discuss the epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory findings of cutaneous LE, including the classification of disease subsets. We review the evidence for abnormal photoreactivity in LE with an overview of the cellular, molecular, and genetic factors that may underlie this abnormality. As there is yet no convincing animal model of cutaneous LE, many studies remain descriptive in nature. To arrive at an understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying the development of cutaneous lupus, we discuss the role of ultraviolet light-mediated induction of apoptosis, antigen presentation, genetic factors, and mediators of inflammation. In addition, we consider the role and importance of humoral and cellular factors, synthesizing the current understanding of the pathophysiology of cutaneous lupus.
