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

Despite sharing interleukin-4 receptor α (IL-4Rα) in their signaling cascades, IL-4 and IL-13 have different functions in atopic inflammation. IL-13 preferentially participates in the peripheral tissues because tissue-resident group 2 innate lymphoid cells produce IL-13 but not IL-4. In contrast, lymph node T follicular helper cells express IL-4 but not IL-13 to regulate B-cell immunity. The dominant microenvironment of IL-13 is evident in the lesional skin of atopic dermatitis (AD). The IL-13-rich local milieu causes barrier dysfunction by down-regulating the OVOL1-filaggrin (FLG) axis and up-regulating the periostin-IL-24 axis. Genome-wide association studies also point to the crucial involvement of the IL-13, OVOL1 and FLG genes in the pathogenesis of AD. Biologics targeting IL-13, such as the anti-IL-4Rα antibody dupilumab and the anti-IL-13 antibody tralokinumab, successfully improve AD lesions and further highlight the importance of IL-13 in the pathogenesis of AD.
