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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory dermatoses characterized by persistent itching and recurrent eczematous lesions. While the primary events and key drivers of AD are topics of ongoing debate, cutaneous inflammation due to inappropriate IgE (auto)antibody-related immune reactions is frequently considered. Highly conserved and immunogenic heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a key intra- and extracellular chaperone, can activate the immune response driving the generation of circulating anti-Hsp90 autoantibodies that are found to be elevated in several autoimmune disorders. Here, for the first time, we observed that serum levels of Hsp90 and anti-Hsp90 IgE autoantibodies are significantly elevated (p < 0.0001) in AD patients (n = 29) when compared to age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 70). We revealed a positive correlation (0.378, p = 0.042) between serum levels of Hsp90 and the severity of AD assessed by Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). In addition, seropositivity for anti-Hsp90 IgE has been found in 48.27% of AD patients and in 2.85% of healthy controls. Although further studies on a larger group of patients are needed to confirm presented data, our results suggest that extracellular Hsp90 and autoantibodies to Hsp90 deserve attention in the study of the mechanisms that promote the development and/or maintenance of atopic dermatitis.
