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

Decreased epidermal high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) expression is an early marker of epidermal injury in Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN). Etanercept, an anti-tumor necrosis factor therapeutic, is effective in the treatment of SJS/TEN. The objective was to characterize antitumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-mediated HMGB1 keratinocyte/epidermal release and etanercept modulation. HMGB1 release from TNF-α treated (± etanercept), or doxycycline-inducible RIPK3 or Bak-expressing human keratinocyte cells (HaCaTs) was determined by western blot/ELISA. Healthy skin explants were treated with TNF-α or serum (1:10 dilution) from immune checkpoint inhibitor-tolerant, lichenoid dermatitis or SJS/TEN patients ± etanercept. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis of HMGB1 was undertaken. TNF-α induced HMGB1 release in vitro via both necroptosis and apoptosis. Exposure of skin explants to TNF-α or SJS/TEN serum resulted in significant epidermal toxicity/detachment with substantial HMGB1 release which was attenuated by etanercept. Whole-slide image analysis of biopsies demonstrated significantly lower epidermal HMGB1 in pre-blistered SJS/TEN versus control (P < 0.05). Keratinocyte HMGB1 release, predominantly caused by necroptosis, can be attenuated by etanercept. Although TNF-α is a key mediator of epidermal HMGB1 release, other cytokines/cytotoxic proteins also contribute. Skin explant models represent a potential model of SJS/TEN that could be utilized for further mechanistic studies and targeted therapy screening.
