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

Inflammatory skin diseases (ISDs) exhibit varying prevalence across different ancestry background and geographical regions. Genetic research for complex ISDs has predominantly centered on European Ancestry (EurA) populations and genetic effects on immune cell responses but generally failed to consider contributions from other cell types in skin. Here, we utilized 273 genetic signals from seven different ISDs: acne, alopecia areata (AA), atopic dermatitis (AD), psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and vitiligo, to demonstrate enriched IL1 signaling in keratinocytes, particularly in signals with higher risk allele frequencies in the African ancestry. Using a combination of ATAC-seq, Bru-seq, and promoter capture Hi-C, we revealed potential regulatory mechanisms of the acne locus on chromosome 2q13. We further demonstrated differential responses in keratinocytes upon IL1β stimulation, including the pro-inflammatory mediators CCL5, IL36G, and CXCL8. Taken together, our findings highlight IL1 signaling in epidermal keratinocytes as a contributor to ancestry-related differences in ISDs.
