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 proliferative autoimmune dermatologic disease characterised by abnormal angiogenesis. Thus, regulating angiogenesis in the skin is an important treatment strategy for psoriasis. PSORI-CM02, an empirical Chinese medicine formula optimised from Yin Xie Ling, was created by the Chinese medicine specialist, Guo-Wei Xuan. Clinical studies have shown that PSORI-CM02 is safe and effective for the treatment of psoriasis. However, its anti-psoriatic mechanisms remain to be further explored. In this study, we investigated the effects of PSORI-CM02 on angiogenesis in the skin and the underlying mechanisms in IL-17A-stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and a murine model of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis.
