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

Cathelicidin LL-37‒mediated activation of mast cells (MCs) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of rosacea, but the receptor involved and the mechanism of its activation and regulation remain unknown. We found that skin biopsies from patients with rosacea display higher frequencies of MCs expressing MRGPRX2 (mouse counterpart MrgprB2) than normal skin. Intradermal injection of LL-37 in wild-type mice resulted in MC recruitment, expression of inflammatory mediators, and development of rosacea-like inflammation. These responses were substantially reduced in MrgprB2
