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 a chronic inflammatory skin disease which mainly involves immune system. This research was to investigate the role of MST1 in the psoriasis, and the detailed mechanism whether related with Th17 and NF-κB. The skin samples and peripheral blood were obtained from psoriasis patients. Skin samples and T cells isolated from peripheral blood of patients were cultured in vitro. The results showed that the level of MST1 in the lesional skin of all three patients was higher than that of un-lesional skin, as well as the amount of CD4, CD8 and IL17 positive T cells. The amount of circulating Th17 was higher than that of control. The level of MST1, IL-17, IL-22 and TNFα was enhanced in activated T cells (p < 0.01), which indicated that MST1 increased markedly in activated T cells. The proliferation and migration of T cells were decreasing in MST1 knockdown cells, while increasing in overexpressed cells, as well as the production of IL-17, IL-22 and TNFα. MST1 enhanced the activation of TLR4-NF-κB signaling pathway, and TLR4 knockdown could reverse the effect of MST1 on NF-κB activation. This research indicated that MST1 could regulate the activation of Th17 in psoriasis partly through TLR4-NF-κB pathway. MST1 may be a target for treatment of psoriasis.
