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

Purpose: Harnessing helminth-induced immunomodulation offers a novel therapeutic avenue for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases; however, research on helminths against psoriasis remains limited. This study evaluates the effects of the peptide SJMHE1 from Methods: SJMHE1 was administered to mice with IMQ-induced psoriasis via topical administration or subcutaneous injection, and effects were evaluated by detecting the skin inflammation of mice. LPS-stimulated HaCaT cells were used to assess the regulatory effects of SJMHE1 in vitro. Additionally, the effects of Poloxamer 407 (P407)-loaded SJMHE1 were evaluated in mice with IMQ-induced psoriasis through topical application. Results: Topical administration and subcutaneous injection of SJMHE1 alleviated psoriasis-like skin lesions, improved PASI scores, reduced epidermal thickness and dermal inflammatory cell infiltration, and decreased expression of Ki67, a marker of keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation. SJMHE1 modulated pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression in LPS-treated HaCaT cells, down-regulating NF-κB and STAT3 activation. Both SJMHE1-loaded hydrogel and SJMHE1 treatment alleviated IMQ-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions, improved PASI scores, reduced the number of Ki67-positive epidermal cells, decreased the spleen index and T-cell infiltration, increased the proportion of regulatory T cells (Tregs), and decreased the percentage of Th17 cells, alongside reducing inflammatory cytokine expression and NF-κB and STAT3 activation in skin lesions. Notably, weight changes in the SJMHE1-loaded gel group were less than those in the betamethasone-positive control group on days 6, 7, and 8 post-IMQ administration. Conclusion: SJMHE1-loaded hydrogel and SJMHE1 treatment inhibited NF-κB and STAT3 activation in skin lesions, improved Th17/Treg balance, and reduced inflammatory cytokine expression in psoriasis mice, thereby ameliorating psoriatic lesion symptoms. Furthermore, SJMHE1-loaded hydrogel exhibited fewer side effects compared to betamethasone, positioning it as a promising strategy against psoriasis.
