Association between Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms, Tight Junction Proteins and Clinical Features of Adult Patients with Atopic Dermatitis.
Article 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 6 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
introductionFew studies have explored the intricate connections between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms, VDR, tight junction (TJ) protein expression and clinical features of atopic dermatitis (AD).
methodsFrom 43 adult AD patients, VDR polymorphisms were genotyped from peripheral blood samples using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. VDR, occludin, claudin-1 and ZO-1 protein expression from skin lesion biopsies were assessed by immunohistochemistry.
resultsThe A1012G heterozygous VDR polymorphism exhibited a lower odds ratio (OR) for juvenile AD onset (OR: 0.046, 95% CI 0.004-0.51, p=0.012). In contrast, the presence of ≥2 homozygous VDR polymorphisms were significantly associated with positive skin prick test (SPT) (10/20, 50%) vs. negative SPT (1/23, 4.3%; p=0.0003). The most highly expressed TJ proteins in lesions of AD patients were claudin-1 and zonulin-1 (ZO-1), while VDR and occludin were less prevalent. A significant correlation was observed between ZO-1 expression and a body mass index ≥30 kg/m
conclusionThis study provides novel insights into the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms, VDR, TJ protein expression, and clinical features in adult AD patients, highlighting a significant role of vitamin D in the pathophysiology of this disease.
