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

Introduction: The importance of multifactorial dysregulation in immune response is well recognised in atopic dermatitis (AD). Th17 family cytokine IL-17 (IL-17A-F) is of significance in both acute and chronic phase of AD. Aim: We analysed the differences between serum levels of IL-17A/F and IL-17A, IL-17-F, IL-13, IL-4, association of rs2275913 IL-17A and rs763780 IL-17F gene polymorphisms in paediatric AD patients and control subjects. Material and methods: We assessed 30 children with AD and 30 healthy patients aged 2-12 years. Eczema Area and Severity Index, Investigator Global Assessment and Scoring Atopic Dermatitis scales were used to analyse the severity of skin lesions in AD patients. Genotyping was performed using PCR and the serum concentrations of IL-17A/F, IL-17A, IL-17F, while IL-13 and IL-4 interleukins were determined by enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assays (ELISA). Results: The revised median assessment scoring in disease severity showed that the studied AD population had a moderate course of the disease. The obtained results indicated elevated plasma levels of IL-17A/F and IL-17-13 in AD patients with no statistically significance of IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-4 compared to controls. AD duration was positively correlated with IL-13 levels and negatively with IL-17A/F ( Conclusions: This study demonstrates increased levels of IL-17A/F in atopic patients, which is positively correlated with severity of the disease and the early phase of the disease. These results highlight a functional role of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of AD in paediatric patients.
