SKIN AS A POTENTIAL ENTRY POINT FOR SARS-COV-2.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The primary route of SARS-CoV-2 entry is via respiratory epithelium. However, many COVID-19 patients developed dermatological lesions, and SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in the patients' skin. Inflammatory skin diseases, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD), significantly increased the risk of COVID-19. To evaluate the potential role of skin in SARS-CoV-2 host interactions, we utilized 3D human skin organoids (HSO) generated from human epidermal keratinocytes, as well as neonatal skin explants. HSO were treated with cytokines involved in acute and chronic skin inflammation and cytokine storm in severe COVID-19 disease, TNF-
