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

backgroundKeratinocytes, the principal cellular constituents of the epidermis, have transcended their conventional barrier function to emerge as master regulators of cutaneous immune homeostasis and inflammatory pathogenesis. In inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus, keratinocytes orchestrate complex inflammatory cascades through intricate signaling networks. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature search in the PubMed database. The search was performed using the following key terms: "Keratinocytes", "Inflammation", "Skin immune diseases", "Immune cell", "Glucocorticoids", "Inflammasomes", "Antioxidants", "Neuropeptide" and "Single-Cell Technologies".

conclusionIn this review, we summarize that keratinocytes play a pivotal role in inflammatory skin pathologies by engaging in bidirectional communication with T lymphocyte subsets, establishing self-amplifying cytokine circuits (e.g., the HMGB1-mediated loop in SLE and the IL-23/Th17 axis in psoriasis), and constitutively producing local glucocorticoid metabolites. Their immunoregulatory capacity is executed through pattern recognition receptor activation and the maintenance of redox balance via antioxidant defense systems such as the SOD2/Nrf2/ARE pathway. Keratinocytes can produce and secrete inflammasomes and neuropeptides, thereby participating in the regulation of inflammation, pruritus, pain and neuro‑immune crosstalk. Furthermore, cutting-edge single-cell transcriptomic profiling has revealed unprecedented keratinocyte heterogeneity and disease-specific subpopulations. In summary, keratinocyte-targeted strategies offer promising interventions to break pathogenic cycles and restore epidermal barrier function.
