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 inflammatory skin disease characterized by abnormal proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. Since curcumol exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in various diseases, we investigated its anti-inflammatory potential in stimulated human keratinocytes. Our data show that curcumol significantly inhibits proliferation and induces cell cycle arrest in NHEK cells stimulated with proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, IL-17A, IL-22, oncostatin M, and TNF-α; mix M5). In addition, curcumol markedly ameliorates inflammatory response and promotes differentiation of M5-stimulated NHEK cells. Curcumol inhibits activity of JAK1, resulting in the inhibition of STAT3, downregulation of cyclin D2, and cell cycle arrest in stimulated NHEK cells. Together, our data show that curcumol reduces proliferation and inflammatory gene expression in stimulated keratinocytes by inhibiting the JAK1/STAT3 signaling, suggesting that it might serve as a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of psoriasis.
