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

Autoinflammation is a sterile inflammatory process resulting from increased neutrophil infiltration and overexpression of IL-1 cytokines. The factors that trigger these events are, however, poorly understood. By investigating pustular forms of psoriasis, we show that human neutrophils constitutively express IL-26 and abundantly release it from granular stores upon activation. In pustular psoriasis, neutrophil-derived IL-26 drives the pathogenic autoinflammation process by inducing the expression of IL-1 cytokines and chemokines that further recruit neutrophils. This occurs via activation of IL-26R in keratinocytes and via the formation of complexes between IL-26 and microbiota DNA, which trigger TLR9 activation of neutrophils. Thus our findings identify neutrophils as an important source of IL-26 and point to IL-26 as the key link between neutrophils and a self-sustaining autoinflammation loop in pustular psoriasis.
