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

objectiveLichen planus (LP) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the mucocutaneous tissue, whose exact pathological course remains unclear. Abnormal thiol/disulfide homeostasis has been postulated to be responsible for a number of diseases predominated by chronic inflammation. To be able to contribute complicated and unclear pathogenesis of LP, we aimed to investigate dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with LP, using an original automated method developed by Erel and Neselioglu in this study.

methodsThe study group consisted of 81 unrelated patients with LP and 80 unrelated healthy controls with no LP lesions in their personal history or on clinical examination. Thiol/disulphide homeostasis tests have been measured with a novel automatic spectrophotometric method developed and the results have been compared statistically.

resultsNative thiol and total thiol levels were found as significantly higher in patients with LP than the control group (P = 0.026 and 0.035, respectively). There was no significant difference between the disulfide levels of the patients with LP and the control group.

conclusionsWe provide evidence that that thiol/disulphide homeostasis impaired in favor of thiol levels in LP patients compared to the control group based on the data of our study. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first examination on the correlation between thiol and disulfide homeostasis in patients with LP.
