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

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatose (ND) characterized by a dense neutrophilic infiltrate in the affected tissue. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like structures released by neutrophils and composed of cytosolic and granule proteins assembled on a scaffold of decondensed chromatin. Very little is known about the role of NETosis in PG. Here, we assessed the possible implication of NETosis in the pathogenesis of PG by investigating the NETosis in the ulcers of 26 PG patients. We demonstrated that neutrophils in the PG skin lesions undergo an aberrant level of NETosis in 100% of the analysed cases (N = 26). All control and abscess biopsies were instead negative for the NETosis. In addition, neutrophils from peripheral blood of PG patients showed a significantly higher rate of spontaneous, but not induced, NETosis. Overall, this study suggests that the NETosis may contribute to systemic inflammation and tissue destruction in PG, thus representing a possible novel therapeutic target.
