Rapamycin Alleviates 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin-Induced Aggravated Dermatitis in Mice with Imiquimod-Induced Psoriasis-Like Dermatitis by Inducing Autophagy.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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.
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
Recently, the mTOR signaling has emerged as an important player in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. We previously found that 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced psoriatic skin inflammation was related to the inhibition of autophagy in keratinocytes. However, the effects and detailed molecular mechanisms of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin and TCDD on psoriasis in vivo remain to be elucidated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of rapamycin and TCDD on skin lesions in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis using a mouse model. TCDD aggravated skin inflammation in an IMQ-induced psoriatic mouse model. Furthermore, TCDD increased the expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), CYP1A1, proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress markers (NADPH oxidase (Nox) 2, Nox4), and phosphorylated P65NF-ĸB, whereas the expression of autophagy-related factors and the antioxidant marker nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) decreased. Rapamycin reduced the aggravated skin inflammation induced by TCDD and restored TCDD-induced autophagy suppression and the increase of AHR expression, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in the skin lesions of a psoriatic mouse model. In conclusion, we demonstrated that rapamycin alleviates TCDD-induced aggravated dermatitis in mice with imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis through AHR and autophagy modulation.
