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

The sebaceous gland (SG) is an integral part of the pilosebaceous unit and is a very active and dynamic organ that contributes significantly to the maintenance of skin homeostasis. In addition to its primary role in sebum production, the SG is involved in the maintenance of skin barrier function, local endocrine/neuroendocrine function, the innate immune response, and the regulation of skin bacterial colonization. Structural and functional alterations of SGs leading to the dysregulation of sebum production/composition and immune response may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory dermatoses. This review summarises the current knowledge on the contribution of SGs to the pathogenesis of common inflammatory skin diseases. These findings are crucial for the development of more effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of inflammatory dermatoses.
