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

Rosacea is treated among others by doxycycline and sodium bituminosulfonate dry substance (SBDS). We addressed the molecular mechanism(s) underlying the therapeutic benefit of SBDS and doxycycline. Therefore, we investigated whether SBDS or doxycycline regulates the expression of signal molecules relevant for inflammatory and angiogenic effects. Cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1) and COX2 activity assays were assessed in primary human monocytes. The release of nitric oxide (NO) and their synthesizing enzyme inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), VEGF and LL37 release were determined in lung epithelial cells A549, mast cells HMC 1.2 or in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs), respectively.
