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

Current mouse models for atopic dermatitis (AD) have a serious drawback, being the existence of dense hair on the body. Thus, a hairless animal model on an AD-prone genetic background will be a powerful tool to investigate the basis of and therapy for this complex disease. We applied the Toxin Receptor-mediated Cell Knockout (TRECK) method to generate a hairless transgenic (Tg) mice on the NC/Nga background, an AD-prone inbred strain. A minigene with the mouse Keratin71 (Krt71) promoter and human diphtheria toxin receptor, which intrinsically functions as the heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, was introduced into the pronucleus of NC/Nga oocytes. Unexpectedly NCN24, one NC/Nga Tg line, showed a dominant hairless phenotype without diphtheria toxin administration. Furthermore, the atopic dermatitis-like predisposition and IgE elevation was observed in both NCN24 and the NC/Nga wildtype strain. NCN24 mice, which we have newly developed, will be useful to assess drugs for AD therapy, being able to monitor skin inflammation without shaving.
