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

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a complex inflammatory skin disease that presents either in isolation or as a frequent manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). CLE subtypes show clinical heterogeneity and varying associations with SLE. Histologically, CLE is characterized by interface dermatitis, a reaction pattern that involves immune-cell infiltration of the dermo-epidermal junction. In-depth characterization of both non-lesional and lesional lupus skin has reshaped our understanding of pathogenesis. Non-lesional and lesional lupus skin exhibits early and chronic upregulation of type I interferons, which drive photosensitivity, myeloid-cell recruitment and amplification of cytokine responses in both immune and non-immune cells. This detailed understanding of CLE biology has enabled the development of targeted therapies. Ongoing research to identify key pathogenic mechanisms will create opportunities for prevention of CLE and CLE-to-SLE transition.
