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

backgroundThe discovery and evaluation of reliable biomarkers of vitiligo are important; however, no clinically established serological markers exist for predicting the clinical prognosis of vitiligo.

objectiveTo investigate the levels of SOX10 and lamin A/C antibodies in the serum of patients diagnosed with vitiligo.

methodsIn this multicenter prospective study, blood serum samples were collected from adult vitiligo patients. The levels of SOX10 and lamin A/C antibodies were analyzed by direct sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Antibody levels between the groups were compared according to disease activity and subtype.

resultsA total of 80 patients (46 females; median age 60 years) were enrolled, including 56 (70%) with nonsegmental vitiligo and 27 (33.7%) with active disease. Positivity for SOX10 and lamin A/C antibodies was observed in 35.0% and 71.3% of patients, respectively. SOX10 positivity was significantly higher in active vitiligo than in stable vitiligo (59.3% vs. 24.5%;

conclusionSOX10 antibody could be a potential marker for assessing disease activity in vitiligo. The increased production of SOX10 antibodies in the serum may be due to the underlying death or turnover of SOX10 containing cells under active autoimmune response.
