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

Inflammatory skin diseases are characterized by complex interactions between immune pathways, epidermal barrier function, and environmental triggers, leading to distinct clinical and histopathological features. This narrative review aims to integrate current knowledge on the cutaneous immune microenvironment across major inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and vitiligo. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, focusing on studies published between 2021 and early 2026. The findings highlight disease-specific immune signatures, such as Th2-driven inflammation in atopic dermatitis, IL-23/Th17 axis activation in psoriasis, neutrophil-dominated responses in hidradenitis suppurativa, and cytotoxic T-cell-mediated melanocyte destruction in vitiligo. These molecular pathways are closely reflected in histopathological patterns, emphasizing the link between morphology and immunopathogenesis. Advances in targeted therapies, including biologics and Janus kinase inhibitors, demonstrate the clinical relevance of these pathways and support a transition toward mechanism-based treatment strategies. Dermatopathology is increasingly contributing to precision medicine approaches by supporting correlations between tissue features, immune pathways, and potential therapeutic targets. This review provides a framework for improved disease stratification and for the development of personalized treatment strategies in inflammatory skin diseases.
