Cross-sectional associations between cutaneous viral infections and regulatory T lymphocytes in circulation.
Article in The British journal of dermatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCutaneous viral infections and immune suppression are risk factors for some forms of nonmelanoma skin cancer; however, their interrelationship is poorly understood.
objectivesTo examine cross-sectional associations between cutaneous viral infections and circulating forkhead-box P3 (FOXP3)-expressing T-regulatory (Treg) cells, suppressive cells that dampen effective antitumour immunity. MATERIALS AND
methodsBlood, eyebrow hair (EBH) and skin swab (SSW) samples were collected from 352 patients 60 years and older undergoing skin screening, without prevalent skin cancer, while participating in an ongoing prospective cohort study of cutaneous viral infections and skin cancer. DNA corresponding to 98 cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) types and five human polyomaviruses (HPyV) was assessed in EBH and SSW. Distinct classes of circulating Treg-cell subpopulations were defined by flow cytometry including cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) and CCR4
resultsTotal Treg-cell proportion in peripheral blood was not associated with β HPV or HPyV infection. However, the proportion of circulating CLA
conclusionsInverse associations between circulating Treg cells and γ HPV infection suggest that localized viral infection may promote immunosuppressive cell migration into skin.
