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

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease with a localized or generalized depigmentation in the skin, and characterized by psychological stress induced by unattractive appearance. Psychological stress induces alterations in immune cell populations through hormones and cytokines, however, the pathogenesis of psychological stress on vitiligo remains unclear. This review discussed the effects of psychological stress-derived hormones and cytokines including macrophage migration inhibitory factor, progesterone, glucocorticoids, estrogens, and norepinephrine on immunocytes including regulatory T cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, B cells, monocytes, and neutrophils. In addition, the review also explored the relationship between melanocytes and immune cells, as well as the conditions of several major animal models simulating the peripheral blood in human vitiligo. This review intended to provide better insights into the complex pathogenesis of vitiligo related to psychological stress, and developing new targets for the prevention and treatments of vitiligo.
