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

Interleukin (IL)-36 cytokines are members of the IL-1 superfamily of cytokines. IL-36 cytokines are composed of three agonists (IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ) and two antagonists (IL-36 receptor antagonist [IL36Ra] and IL-38). These work in innate and acquired immunity and are known to contribute to host defense and to the pathogenesis of autoinflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. In the skin, IL-36α and IL-36γ are mainly expressed by keratinocytes in the epidermis, although they are also produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and dermal fibroblasts. IL-36 cytokines participate in the first-line defense of the skin against various exogenous assaults. IL-36 cytokines play significant roles in the host defense system and in the regulation of inflammatory pathways in the skin, collaborating with other cytokines/chemokines and immune-related molecules. Thus, numerous studies have shown IL-36 cytokines to play important roles in the pathogenesis of various skin diseases. In this context, the clinical efficacy and safety profiles of anti-IL-36 agents such as spesolimab and imsidolimab have been evaluated in patients with generalized pustular psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne/acneiform eruptions, ichthyoses, and atopic dermatitis. This article comprehensively summarizes the roles played by IL-36 cytokines in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of various skin diseases and summarizes the current state of research on therapeutic agents that target IL-36 cytokine pathways.
