Tape Stripping - Searching for Minimally Invasive Biomarkers in Atopic Dermatitis.
Review in Dermatology practical & conceptual, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is nowadays entering a new era of more targeted treatments. However, to make personalized medicine, which we are currently striving for, a reality, a reliable set of validated biomarkers is needed. The most practical seem to be biomarkers that can be obtained easily and minimally invasively. Tape stripping (TS) is a method that provides such an opportunity. This review summarizes the potential biomarkers of AD identified by the minimally invasive TS method. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-13, CC chemokine ligand 17 (CCL17)/thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and stratum corneum (SC) lipids can be used as predictive biomarkers for AD occurrence. CCL17/TARC also holds great promise for being reliable biomarkers for AD severity as well as treatment response. Nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2)/inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) which high expression is specific for psoriasis may be a good biomarker for differential diagnosis between psoriasis and AD in challenging clinical situations. AD children with food allergy (FA) have a unique endotype characterized by selectively altered expression of various molecules in the skin that can indicate FA coexistence. Unfortunately, although numerous potential biomarkers have been found, none of these candidates have been validated and implemented into routine clinical practice, which still separates us from the possibility of a precise approach to AD patients.
