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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease exhibiting clinical and molecular heterogeneity, thereby jeopardizing the development of personalized treatments. Here we pursue a cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort analysis of 951 whole-skin samples, employing an unsupervised decomposition analysis to link gene expression profiles to disease severity, six distinct skin phenotypes, and blood cytokines representative of given endotypes. Specifically, type 2 and type 17 responses are associated with major skin phenotypes such as erythema and induration, while type 1 response is upregulated in lichen amyloidosis of AD patients. Longitudinal analysis of patients treated with dupilumab finds sustained gene signatures related to type 17 response in lesional skin and upregulated transcription factors in non-lesional skin of patients with poor treatment outcomes. Lastly, several extracellular matrix organization-associated genes are correlated with clinical severity and treatment response to dupilumab. Our findings thus provide potential skin and blood biomarkers for assessing endotypes and therapeutic responses in AD to pave the way for personalized medicine.
