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

Obesity is associated with comorbidities including type 2 diabetes, chronic nonhealing wounds, and psoriasis. Normally, skin homeostasis and repair is regulated through the production of cytokines and growth factors derived from skin-resident cells including epidermal γδ T cells. However, epidermal γδ T cells exhibit reduced proliferation and defective growth factor and cytokine production during obesity and type 2 diabetes. One of the genes modulated in epidermal γδ T cells during obesity and type 2 diabetes is CCR6, which is the receptor for CCL20. CCL20 is elevated in the skin during obesity and type 2 diabetes. Here, we identify a subset of murine epidermal γδ T cells that express CCR6 upon activation, both in vitro and in vivo. We show that CCL20 stimulates epidermal γδ T cells to produce interleukin (IL)-17, indicating that CCR6 regulates the IL-17 axis in epidermal γδ T cells. In murine models of wound repair and psoriasis, these epidermal γδ T cells upregulate CCR6 and produce IL-17, with obesity amplifying this response during wound repair but having less effect during psoriasis. These findings have novel implications for the regulation of a specific population of IL-17-producing epidermal γδ T cells during skin damage and inflammation.
