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 is an immune disease of the skin that frequently develops upon triggering events of mechanical nature and leads to increased proliferation and damaged differentiation of keratinocytes of the epidermis. Mechanical forces are mediated through mechanotransduction, which is the process that translates physical cues into biochemical signaling networks. Latest updates underline the role of mechanotransduction during the acquisition of aberrant properties by the keratinocytes of the skin, therefore implying a potential contribution that promotes psoriasis pathogenesis. The present review discusses the mechano-induced signaling pathways and individual molecules that become activated in psoriasis and in keratinocytes, along with mechano-based putative treatment strategies. We also suggest emerging mechanosensitive molecules for further investigation with potential diagnostic and therapeutic utility in psoriasis.
