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

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 (TRPV3) is a non-selective cation channel prominently present in the skin. It plays a role in diverse physiological and pathological functions like inflammation of the skin, pain sensations in the skin, and persistent itchiness. Overactive TRPV3 channels contribute to numerous inflammatory skin diseases, and this highlights the therapeutic potential of its inhibitors. Using a drug repurposing screening approach, we identified fluoxetine-a clinically established antidepressant agent-as a potent inhibitor of TRPV3 channel activation, demonstrating its therapeutic potential for skin inflammation alleviation. During whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, fluoxetine exhibits a selective inhibitory effect on macroscopic TRPV3 currents in a concentration-dependent fashion. The IC
