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 a multifactorial, chronic relapsing disease associated with genetic and environmental factors. Among skin microbes, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis are associated with AD, but how genetic variability and staphylococcal strains shape the disease remains unclear. We investigated the skin microbiome of an AD cohort (n = 54) as part of a prospective natural history study using shotgun metagenomic and whole genome sequencing, which we analyzed alongside publicly available data (n = 473). AD status and global geographical regions exhibited associations with strains and genomic loci of S. aureus and S. epidermidis. In addition, antibiotic prescribing patterns and within-household transmission between siblings shaped colonizing strains. Comparative genomics determined that S. aureus AD strains were enriched in virulence factors, whereas S. epidermidis AD strains varied in genes involved in interspecies interactions and metabolism. In both species, staphylococcal interspecies genetic transfer shaped gene content. These findings reflect the staphylococcal genomic diversity and dynamics associated with AD.
