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

backgroundRecent data suggest that patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) have increased systemic immune activation and cardiovascular risk. However, unlike psoriasis, evaluation of active vascular inflammation using state-of-the-art imaging is lacking in AD.

objectiveTo assess aortic and carotid vascular inflammation using

methodsA total of 27 patients with moderate-to-severe AD and 12 healthy controls were imaged using

resultsPatients with AD had elevated aortic max TBR (fold change [FCH] = 1.45, P = .057) versus healthy controls and significantly elevated mean TBR (FCH = 1.20; P < .05) in the right carotid (RC) arteries versus controls. When examining greatest focal inflammation (most diseased segment [MDS] TBR), patients with AD had higher aortic inflammation (FCH = 1.28; P = .052). AD clinical severity significantly correlated with C-reactive protein (ρ = 0.60, P < .01) and with RC mean TBR levels (ρ = 0.60, P = .04). Stratifying patients into moderate-to-severe and very severe AD showed greater RC mean TBR in patients with very severe AD versus controls (FCH = 1.31; P = .02) and versus patients with moderate/severe AD (FCH = 1.23, P = .05). Aortic inflammation was also significantly greater in patients with very severe AD versus controls (max TBR: FCH = 1.6, P = .04; MDS TBR: FCH = 1.73, P = .03).

conclusionsThis preliminary study is the first that establishes greater vascular (aorta and carotid) inflammation in moderate-to-severe AD versus healthy controls. Furthermore, very severe AD showed higher inflammation than both moderate/severe patients and healthy controls. Future studies with larger patient cohorts and evaluation before and after treatment are needed to determine the extent to which vascular inflammation in AD is modifiable.
