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

backgroundNonlesional skin in atopic dermatitis (AD) is abnormal, but the pathobiology of lesional and nonlesional skin and the definition of endotypes are poorly understood.

objectiveTo define lesional and nonlesional endotypes of AD by building the first US-based early-life prospective cohort of children with AD, the Mechanisms of Progression from AD to Asthma in Children cohort.

methodsWe assessed lesional and nonlesional skin transepidermal water loss, filaggrin (FLG) and alarmin (S100A8, S100A9) expression, staphylococcal colonization, and patterns of aeroallergen and food sensitization to define nonlesional and lesional phenotypes and endotypes.

resultsPathophysiologic changes were present in lesional and nonlesional skin and were associated with SCORing for Atopic Dermatitis. Nonlesional skin had features characteristic of diseased skin including low FLG and high alarmin expression, and increased colonization with Staphylococcus aureus. In a multivariate model, nonlesional, but not lesional, FLG expression was associated with the development of cosensitization and moderate to severe AD. Lesional skin was characterized by further deficits in FLG expression (P < .001), but alarmin expression was the same as observed in nonlesional skin.

conclusionsThis study reveals that events in the nonlesional, not the lesional, skin promote the subsequent development of AD severity and cosensitization, which is a key risk factor for allergic comorbidities. Collectively, these data suggest the presence of a subclinical eczema endotype that may predispose to the development of allergic disease in the absence of overt eczema. This may represent a new definition of the atopic march that starts with skin barrier dysfunction rather than eczema.
