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 autoimmune skin disease characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes. Wide treatment options used to treat psoriasis is associated with various adverse effects. To overcome this nanoformulation is prepared. Selenium is an essential trace element and plays major role in oxidation reduction system. Toxicity and stability limits the applications of selenium. Toxicity can be reduced and stabilized upon preparation into nanoparticles.

resultsSelenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) exhibit potent apoptosis through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with cell cycle arrest. SeNPs topical gel application produced significant attenuation of psoriatic severity with the abrogation of acanthosis and splenomegaly. SeNPs reduced the phosphorylation and expressions of MAPKs, STAT3, GSK-3β, Akt along with PCNA, Ki67, and cyclin-D1.

conclusionSeNPs inhibit various inflammation and proliferation mediated pathways and could be an ideal candidate for psoriasis therapy. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeNPs were characterized and various techniques were used to determine apoptosis and other molecular mechanisms. In vivo studies were performed by inducing psoriasis with imiquimod (IMQ). SeNPs were administered via topical route.
