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

Three-dimensional (3D) human skin equivalents have emerged as valuable tools in skin research, replacing animal experimentation and precluding the need for patient biopsies. In this study, we advanced 3D skin equivalents to model the inflammatory skin diseases atopic dermatitis and psoriasis by cytokine stimulation, and were successful in integrating TH1 T cells into skin models to develop an immunocompetent 3D psoriasis model. We performed in-depth histological and functional characterization of 3D skin equivalents and validated them in terms of tissue architecture, pathological changes, expression of antimicrobial peptides and Staphylococcus aureus colonization using 3D reconstruction by multiphoton microscopy and phenotyping by highly multiplexed 'co-detection by indexing' (CODEX) microscopy. We show that our skin equivalents have a structural architecture with a well-developed dermis and epidermis, thus resembling human skin. In addition, the skin models of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis show several phenotypic features of inflammatory skin disease, including disturbed epidermal differentiation and alterations in the expression of epidermal barrier genes and antimicrobial peptides, and can be reliably used to test novel treatment strategies. Therefore, these 3D equivalents will be a valuable tool in experimental dermatological research.
