Characterization of macrophages associated with human skin models exposed to UV radiation.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Skin macrophages play important roles in the response to external stimuli. Human skin equivalents (HSEs) incorporating the human monocytic cell line THP-1 were fabricated to generate immunocompetent human skin models. These HSEs were used to investigate the influence of the skin microenvironment and ultraviolet A (UVA) on macrophages. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that THP-1 cells in HSEs were enriched in extracellular matrix interaction hallmark but downregulated in DNA replication hallmark. Upon UVA exposure, immunocompetent HSEs presented epidermal distortion and increased DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The genes associated with oxidative stress and the inflammatory response were significantly upregulated in THP-1 cells. When the photoprotective agent mycosporine-2-glycine from cyanobacteria was applied to HSEs, the incidence of UVA-induced DSBs was significantly lower, and inflammatory and UV response hallmarks were downregulated in THP-1 cells. Taken together, these results suggest that immunocompetent HSEs can be used to investigate the responses of skin-resident macrophages to external stimuli.
