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

The pathogenesis of vitiligo is complex and not well understood. Genes play a role in all aspects of vitiligo pathogenesis, and studies are ongoing to identify these genes and understand their biology. There is a body of interlocking, compelling evidence supporting an autoimmune basis for most or all cases of generalized vitiligo. The development of an autoimmune disease generally involves three components; the immune system, environmental triggers and other exogenous precipitating factors, and the target tissue. In vitiligo, precipitating factors could induce melanocyte damage in genetically susceptible individuals and consequent cell death, loss of tolerance, and induction of melanocyte-directed autoimmunity. Future research will more precisely define the multiple biological events that regulate development of vitiligo.
