Association of serum Ly6/PLAUR domain-containing protein 1 levels with skin sclerosis in systemic sclerosis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterized by aberrant immune activation, vascular injury, and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Ly6/PLAUR domain-containing protein 1 (LYPD1) was reported to be secreted and to have various physiological functions such as anti-angiogenic effects. Here we investigated serum LYPD1 levels in SSc patients and the association of serum LYPD1 levels with clinical features of SSc. Serum samples were obtained from 75 SSc patients and 22 healthy individuals as controls. We measured serum LYPD1 levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Then, the relationship between serum LYPD1 levels and clinical features of SSc was analyzed. Serum LYPD1 levels in diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) patients were significantly higher than those in the limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) patients (median [25-75th percentiles], 1693.43 [1086.61-1917.57] vs. 904.55 [714.356-1285.56] pg/mL), while there were no significant differences in the serum LYPD1 levels between lcSSc and healthy controls (904.55 [714.356-1285.56] vs. 750.71 pg/mL [544.00-912.14]). Further analysis revealed that serum LYPD1 levels in patients correlated with skin thickness scores and serum interleukin (IL)-6 levels, which were known to reflect the extent of skin thickening in SSc. Moreover, serum LYPD1 levels showed a decrease with improvement in skin thickness after treatment, along with a decrease in serum IL-6 levels. These results indicate that LYPD1 might be a potential marker for monitoring skin sclerosis and evaluating the efficacy of skin fibrosis treatment in SSc patients.
