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

Nondiphtheria corynebacteria are typical members of the skin microbiota. However, in addition to being harmless inhabitants of healthy skin commensal skin-derived corynebacteria such as C. amycolatum occasionally also cause infections. This suggests that human skin must harbor adequate mechanisms to control the growth of corynebacteria on the skin surface. Here we show that keratinocytes are able to detect the presence of C. amycolatum leading to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-dependent induction of the antimicrobial protein RNase 7. C. amycolatum-mediated induction of RNase 7 was also confirmed in a human 3D skin equivalent. The functional relevance of these findings was demonstrated by potent antimicrobial activity of RNase 7 against C. amycolatum and C. xerosis. In addition, the capacity of human stratum corneum to restrict the growth of C. amycolatum was significantly attenuated when RNase 7 was inactivated by a specific RNase 7-neutralizing antibody. Taken together, the interaction of RNase 7 with C. amycolatum indicates that RNase 7 may function as important effector molecule to control the growth of corynebacteria on human skin.
