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 role of Staphylococcus aureus in atopic dermatitis (AD) has been extensively studied. Although its role in the pathophysiology of AD was previously controversial, current evidence now shows that it is a major factor promoting the disease and is responsible for significant morbidity. Its influence in AD stems from widespread exposure because S aureus is common on healthy skin and is frequently part of the normal human skin microbiome. In AD, S aureus and the closely related Staphylococcus epidermidis gain a selective growth advantage over most other members of the skin microbiome due to a complex relationship involving the skin's innate immune system, other members of the microbiome, and skin barrier properties. Disruption in the functioning of these components or changes in their interactions lead to dysbiosis, skin barrier damage, and the progression of skin disease. This review summarizes research findings on these relationships and highlights the interactions and factors that promote S aureus survival on skin and its participation in the pathogenesis of AD.
