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 (HS), also known as acne inversa, is a debilitating inflammatory skin disorder that is characterized by nodules that lead to the development of connected tunnels and scars as it progresses from Hurley stages I to III. HS has been associated with several autoimmune diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease and spondyloarthritis. We previously reported dysregulation of humoral immune responses in HS, characterized by elevated serum total IgG, B-cell activation, and antibodies recognizing citrullinated proteins. In this study, we characterized IgG autoreactivity in HS sera and lesional skin compared with those in normal healthy controls using an array-based high-throughput autoantibody screening. The Cy3-labeled anti-human assay showed the presence of autoantibodies against nuclear antigens, cytokines, cytoplasmic proteins, extracellular matrix proteins, neutrophil proteins, and citrullinated antigens. Most of these autoantibodies were significantly elevated in stages II‒III in HS sera and stage III in HS skin lesions compared with those of healthy controls. Furthermore, immune complexes containing both native and citrullinated versions of antigens can activate M1 and M2 macrophages to release proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-8, IL-6, and IL-12. Taken together, the identification of specific IgG autoantibodies that recognize circulating and tissue antigens in HS suggests an autoimmune mechanism and uncovers putative therapeutic targets.
