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

backgroundMost existing studies on psoriasis' pathogenesis have focused on collecting epithelial cell gene sequences from psoriasis patients and normal subjects. In this paper, for the first time, high-throughput microarray was used to study the differential expression of genes in venous blood between patients with blood-heat psoriasis and normal subjects, providing theoretical support for studying the pathogenesis of blood-heat psoriasis.

methodsPeripheral venous blood was collected from ten patients with blood-heat psoriasis and ten healthy volunteers for high-throughput microarray. The mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs related to blood-heat psoriasis were selected by analyzing the transcriptome microarray results. Then gene ontology (GO) analysis and KEGG signaling pathway analysis were used to explore further the biological functions of these mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs in blood-heat pathogenesis psoriasis. Network pharmacology was used to analyze the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the genes with differential expression, and the core genes to transmit information were obtained.

resultsA total of 205 circRNAs, 393 lncRNAs, and 157 mRNAs with differential expression associated with psoriasis were selected using high-throughput microarray. GO analysis showed these mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs were mainly enriched in cellular processes, biological regulation, ribosome formation, and negative regulation of protein binding. However, KEGG enrichment analysis suggested they were mainly enriched in autoimmunity pathways, lipid metabolism, translation, and signal transduction. PPI network analysis of mRNAs with significant difference revealed 11 core genes that transmitted information in psoriasis primarily.

conclusionsThe mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs with differential expression related to the pathogenesis of blood-heat psoriasis were found using high-throughput microarray for the first time. And the mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs with potential regulatory functions related to blood-heat psoriasis were then screened by bioinformatics analysis, effectively providing a new research entry point to the pathogenesis of blood-heat psoriasis.
