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 skin is an organ with multiple functions, where important inflammatory and immunological processes take place. The integrity of the skin barrier is necessary for it to fulfill its roles. An intact skin barrier requires a physiological keratinization process, but also a normal cutaneous microbial flora. Any change in the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes entails the disruption of the skin barrier and the triggering of inflammatory and immunological processes at this level, in response to the aggression of external pathogens. Also, there are several specialised immune cells in the skin (Langerhans cells, T regulator cells, T helper cells), that maintain a balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes at this level. Disturbing the immune homeostasis causes inflammation and allergic skin reaction. Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are two inflammatory diseases of the skin, characterized by perturbation of the mechanisms of skin barrier formation. The immune system of the skin is also involved in the pathophysiology of vitiligo and pemphigus. The aim of this review is to offer a brief presentation of the inflammatory and immunological processes that occur in the skin.
