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

backgroundPsoriasis is a common chronic skin inflammatory disease. Understanding the pathogenesis of psoriasis and identifying novel therapeutic targets are under investigation.

methodsGene expression profiles were obtained from GSE13355, GSE30999 and GSE54456 datasets to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between psoriasis and normal controls. Enrichment analysis was used to identify the biological functions and pathways of common genes from three groups of DEGs. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was then constructed to identify key genes according to degree of connectivity. Expression of genes was detected by the method of qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The infiltration of immune cells of psoriasis were quantified and detected by flow cytometry.

resultsA total of 146 common genes were identified between psoriasis and normal controls. They were significantly enriched in IL-17, chemokine, and NOD-like receptor (NLR) signaling pathway. Ten key genes were selected with bigger degree of connectivity through PPI network, and ARG1 and CXCL2 had better predictive ability based on ROC curves. Increased expression of ARG1 and CXCL2 in psoriasis patients were verified by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry method. In addition, a lot of immune cells were upregulated in psoriasis compared to healthy controls through ssGSEA and flow cytometry.

conclusionARG1 and CXCL2 may serve as biomarkers and potential therapy for psoriasis. This may be related to the immune response and NLR pathway.
