Abstract

Summary: Atopic dermatitis often precedes the development of other atopic diseases. The atopic march describes this temporal relationship in the natural history of atopic diseases. Although the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie this relationship are poorly understood, epidemiological and genetic data have suggested that the skin might be an important route of sensitization to allergens. Animal models have begun to elucidate how skin barrier defects can lead to systemic allergen sensitization. Emerging data now suggest that epithelial cell‐derived cytokines such as thymic stromal lymphopoietin ( TSLP ), IL ‐33, and IL ‐25 may drive the progression from atopic dermatitis to asthma and food allergy. This review focuses on current concepts of the role of skin barrier defects and epithelial cell‐derived cytokines in the initiation and maintenance of allergic inflammation and the atopic march.

  • The role of the innate immune system in the early phase of atopic dermatitis was demonstrated using animal models and is likely of clinical relevance in infancy.

    “The role of the innate immune system in the early phase of AD was demonstrated using animal models52–54 and is likely of clinical relevance in infancy55.”

    From Atopic dermatitis: an expanding therapeutic pipeline for a complex disease (2022) · cites this paper as [55]

    The Introduction says atopic dermatitis often begins in infancy, and section 6.1 reports an epithelial-derived cytokine in human atopic-dermatitis lesions and its role in mouse models of skin inflammation. These passages make clinical relevance in infancy plausible, but the copy does not establish the role of innate immunity specifically in the early phase of infant atopic dermatitis. The animal-model demonstration is attached to other citations in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.79)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
