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

Psoriasis represents inflammatory skin disorders characterized by significant changes in cellular immunity, particularly exhibiting alterations in T lymphocyte-related functions. Early psoriatic lesions have been reported to show an infiltration of activated helper T cells. Elevated levels of interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), and interferon-gamma (INF-gamma) are associated with an early activation of T cells. To examine local activation of T cells in psoriatic skin, the amounts of activated T cell products, IL-2, secretory form of IL-2R (sIL-2R) and INF-gamma were measured in the fluids of suction blisters raised on psoriatic skin. sIL-2R levels were significantly elevated in the suction blister fluids raised on psoriatic involved skin compared with those on normal and psoriatic uninvolved skin. On the other hand, neither IL-2 or IFN-gamma was detected in the suction blister fluids either from normal, psoriatic uninvolved, or involved skin. However, we could detect IFN-gamma and IL-2 in the psoriatic scale extracts. Although we failed to detect IL-2 and IFN-gamma in the suction blister fluids, the increased levels of sIL-2R in the suction blister fluids from the psoriatic lesional skin indicate local activation of T cells in psoriatic lesional skin.
