Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis of Oxymatrine in Psoriasis Treatment.

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
Purpose: Psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory, recurrent, immune-mediated skin disease. Oxymatrine is effective for treating moderate and severe psoriasis. Here, transcriptional changes in skin lesions before and after oxymatrine treatment of patients with psoriasis were identified using full-length transcriptome analysis and then compared with those of normal skin tissues. Patients and Methods: Co-expression modules were constructed by combining the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score with weighted gene co-expression network analysis to explore the action mechanism of oxymatrine in improving clinical PASI. The expression of selected genes was verified using immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time PCR, and Western blotting. Results: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome pathway analysis revealed that oxymatrine treatment reversed the abnormal pathways, with an improvement in lesions and a reduction in PASI scores. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that oxymatrine treatment led to altered GO terms being regulated with a decrease in the PASI score in patients. Therefore, oxymatrine treatment may improve the skin barrier, differentiation of keratinocytes, and alleviate abnormality of organelles such as desmosomes. Protein-protein interaction network interaction analysis revealed that the top five hub genes among many interrelated genes were Conclusion: Oxymatrine can improve erythema, scales, and other clinical symptoms of patients with psoriasis by regulating EDC-related genes and multiple pathways, thereby promoting the repair of epithelial tissue and maintaining the dynamic balance of skin keratosis.
