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

Vitiligo is a complex, multifactorial disorder characterized by acquired skin pigment loss that strongly influences the physical and mental well-being of patients with vitiligo. The precise pathogenesis remains incompletely elucidated, but recent studies emphasize the significant roles of both innate and adaptive immunity. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), essential for innate immune sensing, significantly contribute to melanocyte destruction in vitiligo. In vitiligo patients, melanocytes and keratinocytes secrete substances like heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), calreticulin (CRT), and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) due to various internal and external influences. PRRs are capable of recognizing these "danger signals". This recognition activates the immune response by stimulating innate immune cells, like plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and natural killer cells (NK cells). The activation of innate immune cells leads to the release of cytokines and the presentation of melanocyte antigens to T cells, triggering the adaptive immune response. Activated CD8
