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

Neuroimmunity is involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, but the mechanism underlying the interaction between the nervous system and the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 immune axis is yet unclear. This study reveals the essential role of the sensory neuron-derived calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in imiquimod (IMQ)-induced expression of IL-23. First, we show that the increased nociceptive behavior was consistent with the development of psoriasiform dermatitis, which requires intact sensory innervation. Systemic ultrapotent Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonist (resiniferatoxin, RTX) treatment-induced sensory denervation resulted in a significant decrease in IL-23 expression in this model, while the recombinant IL-23 treatment induced IL-17A expression was intact after RTX treatment. In addition, IMQ exposure induced a transient increase in CGRP expression in the dorsal root ganglion. The neuron-derived CGRP expression was completely abolished by sensory denervation, thereby downregulating IL-23 expression, which could be reversed through the introduction of CGRP into the denervated dorsal skin. Our results suggest that nociceptive sensory neurons may drive the production of IL-23, resulting in IL-17A production from γδ T cells
