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 an inflammatory cutaneous disease mediated by T-cell dependent immune responses; however, B cells are also considered to play an important role its development. Regulatory B cells (Bregs) regulate immune responses negatively through interleukin-10 (IL-10) production. This study aimed to investigate the role of Bregs in IL-23-mediated psoriasis-like inflammation in mice. Psoriasis-like inflammation was induced in B cell-specific phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-deficient mice, in which Bregs were significantly expanded, and in their controls, by intradermal injection of 20 μL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.5 μg rmIL-23 into one ear, every other day for 16 days. IL-23-mediated psoriasis-like inflammation was suppressed in B cell-specific PTEN-deficient mice along with decreased ear thickness and epidermal thickness on day 15. Moreover, adoptive transfer of B1 B cells suppressed IL-23-mediated psoriasis-like inflammation. rmIL-23-injected B cell-specific PTEN-deficient mice showed expanded regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the spleen and draining lymph nodes along with increased Bregs. Further, T helper (Th) 17 differentiation in the rmIL-23-injected ear was suppressed in B cell-specific PTEN-deficient mice. Overall, these results indicate that increased Bregs suppress IL-23-mediated psoriasis-like inflammation through Treg expansion and inhibition of Th17 differentiation. Thus, targeting Bregs may be a feasible treatment strategy for psoriasis.
