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 skin is the largest sensory organ in the human body. It has a neural structure that's very complex and diverse. A neural network spreads through the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. This network generates an exceedingly complex structure. It shows the deep functional links between the cutaneous system and the nervous system. This review systematically delineates the distribution patterns of cutaneous sensory nerves, elaborates on their distinct functional properties, and explores in depth the bidirectional regulatory crosstalk between epidermal cells and the sensory nervous system. Direct communication between these cells and nerves is not the only focus. The review expands on the potential mechanisms underlying these interactions, including chemical signal transmission and the regulation of immune responses. The review further addresses the role of sensory nerves in dermatological pathology, encompassing their functions in processes like chronic inflammation, pain perception, wound healing, pigmentation, and other related ones.
