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

introductionPsoriasis is a common chronic skin disorder characterized by inflammation and abnormal epidermal proliferation. Its severity ranges from a chronic plaque psoriasis (CPP) to generalized psoriatic erythroderma (PE). The cause of psoriasis is unknown although most evidence supports the hypothesis that psoriasis is an immunologically mediated disease. The T-helper (Th) 1 and Th17 cells are responsible for the inflammation of psoriasis. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a class of immunoglobulin essential for the allergic response. There is some evidence that IgE may take a part in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

aimThe aim of the study was to compare serum levels of total IgE between patients with psoriasis and healthy subjects, and to assess the difference between localized form (CPP) and extensive form of disease (PE).

methodsSeventy-five patients with psoriasis and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Data on age, gender, personal and family history, clinical type and duration of disease were collected and analyzed. Serum levels of IgE were measured using nephelometric method.

resultsSerum levels of total IgE were significantly higher in patients than in controls (46.7%

conclusionsThis study supports the evidence that elevation of total serum IgE is associated with psoriasis. The exact role of serum IgE in psoriasis should be additionally investigated in future studies.
