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

Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare genodermatosis with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance caused by pathogenic variants in the SPINK5 gene. It is characterized by a triad consisting of atopic diathesis, ichthyosis linearis circumflexa, and hair shaft abnormalities. Ichthyosis linearis circumflexa can be confused with atopic dermatitis leading to a delayed diagnosis. Furthermore, difficulty in making the differential diagnosis with other atopiform, erythrodermic, and ichthyosiform entities that exhibit hair shaft abnormalities represent a challenge. Trichoscopy is an accessible and noninvasive auxiliary diagnostic tool in these cases; the hair shaft abnormalities found in NS are bamboo, golf tee, and matchstick hairs. Identification of a pathogenic variant in the SPINK5 gene through genetic testing is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Multiple treatment options are available including topical therapy with emollients, corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, antiseptics, and narrowband UVB phototherapy. Systemic treatments comprehend intravenous immunoglobulins, and advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of NS have led to more directed therapies with biologics such as infliximab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, ustekinumab, and dupilumab. Treatments currently under investigation include inhibitors of kallikrein 5, cathelicidins, drugs activating the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2, and gene therapy using autologous keratinocytes induced with a lentiviral vector encoding SPINK5.
