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 epidermis-specific lipid acylceramide plays a pivotal role in the formation of the permeability barrier in the skin; abrogation of its synthesis causes the skin disorder ichthyosis. However, the acylceramide synthetic pathway has not yet been fully elucidated: Namely, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) involved in this pathway remains to be identified. Here, we hypothesized it to be encoded by
