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

Epithelial barriers play an important role in the exchange of nutrients, gases, and other signals between our body and the outside world. However, they protect it also from invasion by potential pathogens. Defective epithelial barriers and associated overshooting immune responses are the basis of many different inflammatory disorders of the skin, the lung, and the intestinal mucosa. The anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids has been efficiently used for the treatment of these diseases. Interestingly, epithelia in these tissues are also a rich source of endogenous glucocorticoids, suggesting that local glucocorticoid synthesis is part of a tissue-specific regulatory circuit. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the extra-adrenal glucocorticoid synthesis at the epithelial barriers of the intestine, lung and the skin, and discuss their relevance in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and as therapeutic targets.
