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

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis with presentations ranging from painful nodules and abscesses to draining tunnels. Using an unbiased proteomics approach, we assessed cardiovascular-, cardiometabolic-, and inflammation-related biomarkers in the serum of patients with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The serum of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa clustered separately from that of healthy controls and had an upregulation of neutrophil-related markers (Cathepsin D, IL-17A, CXCL1). Patients with histologically diagnosed dermal tunnels had higher serum lipocalin-2 levels compared with those without tunnels. Consistent with this, patients with tunnels had a more neutrophilic-rich serum signature, marked by Cathepsin D, IL-17A, and IL-17D alterations. There was a significant serum‒skin correlation between proteins in the serum and the corresponding mRNA expression in skin biopsies, with healthy-appearing perilesional skin demonstrating a significant correlation with neutrophil-related proteins in the serum. CSF3 mRNA levels in lesional skin significantly correlated with neutrophil-related proteins in the serum, suggesting that CFS3 in the skin may be a driver of neutrophilic inflammation. Clinical significantly correlated with the levels of lipocalin-2 and IL-17A in the serum. Using an unbiased, large-scale proteomic approach, we demonstrate that hidradenitis suppurativa is a systemic neutrophilic dermatosis, with a specific molecular signature associated with the presence of dermal tunnels.
