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 epidemiological studies have demonstrated that air pollution is associated with the inflammatory response and may aggravate inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD). However, it is unclear whether particulate matter (PM) aggravates AD symptoms.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate whether PM exposure affects the skin barrier dysfunction and aggravates AD symptoms using human keratinocytes (HaCaT) cells and a mouse model of oxazolone-induced AD-like skin.

methodsStandard reference material (SRM) 1649b, which mainly comprises polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, was used as the reference PM. HaCaT cells and mouse model of oxazolone-induced AD-like skin were treated with PM. The mRNA or protein expression levels of stratum corneum (SC) and tight junction (TJ) proteins, inflammatory cytokines, as well as clinical and histological changes of the AD-like skin of mouse model were evaluated. The expression of genes and proteins was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsThe results revealed that PM downregulates the expression levels of several SC and TJ-related proteins in the mouse model with AD-like skin. Clinically, epidermal and dermal thickness was significantly increased and dermal inflammation was prominent in PM treated AD-like skin.

conclusionIn conclusion, we found that PM aggravates skin barrier dysfunction, clinically augmenting epidermal and dermal thickening with dermal inflammation in AD-like skin. These results suggest that PM may trigger the exacerbation of AD symptoms via skin barrier dysfunction-related mechanisms.
