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

aimsTo use a mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis to investigate the relationship between pruritus and mast cells, nerve growth factor (NGF) and endogenous pruritogenic peptides, which are highly expressed in the skin of psoriasis patients. MAIN

methodsWe developed a mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis and measured the frequency and duration of the model animals' self-scratching behavior using the SCLABA KEY

findingsTopical application of imiquimod increased the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score as well as the frequency and duration of self-scratching. Regarding internal factors, increases in mast cells number and mRNA expression of NGF and endogenous pruritogenic peptide precursor were confirmed. SIGNIFICANCE: Self-scratching behavior is accompanied by increased number of mast cells and expression of NGF and endogenous pruritogenic peptides in our imiquimod-induced psoriasis model. The expression of these factors was consistent with the features in patients with pruritic psoriasis, suggesting that our model reflects at least some of the precipitating factors of pruritus found in humans.
