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

Epithelial tissue integrity is maintained through specialized intercellular junctions known to coordinate homeostatic processes. In this context, outside-in signaling and mechanotransduction through desmosomal cadherins, the building blocks of desmosomes and main stress bearers in epithelial tissue, are only starting to emerge. To better understand the dual function of desmosomal cadherins in structural integrity and cellular signaling, we here performed a systematic, unbiased review on pathogenic signaling effectors identified in models and patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV). PV is an autoimmune blistering disorder characterized by disruption of desmosomal transadhesion through autoantibodies mainly targeting the desmosomal cadherins desmoglein (Dsg) 3 or Dsg1 and Dsg3. The survey of functionally validated pathogenic pathways published since inception in 1977 up to mid-2024 identifies 128 studies and 128 signaling molecules, highlighting a coherent network of biomechanical, bioelectrical, and biochemical signaling events. This in-depth analysis will stimulate future research as well as development of potential therapeutic applications beyond PV.
