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

backgroundPsoriasis is a chronic inflammatory multisystem disease with imbalance between the Th17 and T regulatory sub-populations. CD200/CD200R is an anti-inflammatory/immune-suppressive axis that might contribute to its pathogenesis given its relation to the Tregs induction. The current study aimed to investigate the status of the CD200/CD200R axis in the blood of psoriasis vulgaris patients versus healthy controls.

methodsIn this comparative cross sectional study, the blood levels of sCD200 and CD200R levels were measured in 25 psoriasis vulgaris patients and an age and sex matched 25 healthy controls using ELISA and flow-cytometry respectively. Their levels were tested for correlation to disease severity.

resultssCD200 was significantly higher while CD200R was significantly lower in psoriasis vulgaris patients than in controls. They did not correlate to each other or to psoriasis severity although they differed significantly among cases of different severities.

conclusionAberrant expression of CD200/CD200R might play a role in psoriasis vulgaris pathophysiology and disease severity. It might constitute a future target of therapy, but cannot be used as a marker of disease severity.
