Establishment of a Keratin 14/17-Induced Antigen-Specific Psoriasis-like Mouse Model.
Article in Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune skin disease significantly impairing the patients' quality of life. Keratin (K)14 and K17 are abnormally expressed in psoriasis patients and considered to be potential autoantigens triggering this disease. However, the animal model for psoriasis induced with a specific antigen is yet to be established. Here we show that vaccinating BALB/c and C57BL/6J mice with purified murine recombinant K14 or K17 antigen induced psoriasis-like clinical symptoms in 40 ± 30% of animals, such as erythema and scaling, accompanied by hallmark histopathological changes including significant epidermal hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lesions. Furthermore, the immunized mice produced high levels of specific antibodies against K14/K17 in the blood, along with antigen-specific T-cell responses. These data indicate that immunization of mice with K14 and K17 antigens could cause psoriasis-like symptoms with immunopathological features of psoriasis, providing a novel experimental animal model for investigating the pathogenesis of psoriasis and development of effective therapies.
