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

objectivePhotosensitivity occurs in ~75% of patients with lupus. Although UV light radiation (UVR) stimulates type I interferon (IFN-I) in the skin, how UVR-induced skin inflammation leads to downstream effects is poorly understood. Tissue inflammation causes dendritic cells (DCs) to migrate from organs to draining lymph nodes (dLN), including a recently identified inflammatory conventional DC subset (inf cDC2) that are potent antigen-presenting cells. To explore links between UVR and the early immune response, we examined DC and lymphocyte subset migration to dLN in normal and lupus-prone mouse strains as well as the role of IFN-I.

methodsMice received a single dose of UV (500 mJ/cm

resultsHigher numbers of CD64+ myeloid cells as well as inf cDC2 were detected in the dLN after UVR in B6 mice, but not in IFN receptor knockout (IFNAR KO) mice. In contrast, Trex1 mutant mice had an exaggerated IFN-I response in the skin and a higher proportion of inf cDC2 in the dLN.

conclusionThese findings reveal a previously unknown relationship between skin UVR and the migration of the inf cDC2 population to dLN. They highlight the role of IFN-I in this process, and the differences between Trex1 mutant and normal mice suggest that this may be of relevance to lupus.
