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

Objectives: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a T cell-mediated type IV hypersensitivity reaction to haptens. Its pathogenesis involves keratinocyte dysfunction and dysregulation of the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3)-signaling pathway. However, the specific role of keratinocyte produced STAT3 in ACD remains unclear. To investigate the effect of keratinocyte (KC)-specific STAT3 conditional knockout on 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)-induced ACD in mice. Materials and Methods: We generated keratinocyte-specific STAT3 conditional knockout (cKO) mice (K14-Cre⁺; STAT3 Results: Keratinocyte-specific STAT3 deletion significantly ameliorated ACD severity, evidenced by reduced TEWL values, enhanced epidermal barrier function, decreased dermatitis scores, reduced clinical dermatitis scores, decreased dermal inflammatory infiltration, lower spleen index, and attenuated mast cell degranulation. Molecular analysis revealed down-regulation of inflammation-related factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, JAK2) and significant inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation. Conclusion: Keratinocyte-specific STAT3 deletion alleviates epidermal barrier impairment and skin inflammation in ACD by inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation and its downstream pro-inflammatory signaling.
