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

As obesity and Western diet consumption are key factors contributing to gut dysbiosis, we investigated the relationship between intestinal microbiota, obesity, and psoriasis in an imiquimod-based model. C57BL/6 mice were used as follows: psoriasis-induced groups fed continuously with a standard or Western diet, psoriasis-induced group fed with a Western diet and then returned to a standard diet, and controls. For each group, clinicopathological, immune, and metabolic parameters were integrated with microbiome data. The imiquimod-based models displayed human psoriasis features and significant changes in immune parameters. Hence, psoriatic mice on prolonged high-fat intake presented decreased microbial richness and evenness and a gut microbiome composition resembling that of obese mice.
