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

purposePsoriasis is a systemic, chronic and inflammatory condition. The exact pathogenesis is unclear. The abnormal expression of Wnt5a pathway in psoriasis vulgaris has been confirmed. Whether it is related to the severity of psoriasis is unclear.

methodsThirty-eight skin lesions from psoriasis vulgaris patients and 22 healthy adult skin tissues were taken. The semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry score of Wnt5a, Frizzled5 and Frizzled2 was evaluated under a microscope by two independent dermatologists. Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score system was used to evaluate the disease severity.

resultsThe average PASI score of the patients was 16.25 ± 7.8, and the average duration of disease was 19.6 ± 10.4 months. Wnt5a, Frizzled5 and Frizzled2 were highly expressed in psoriasis lesions. The semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry scores of Wnt5a, Frizzled5 and Frizzled2 were positively correlated with PASI scores (r = 0.71, r = 0.46, r = 0.65, respectively, all

conclusionWnt5a and its receptors play an important role in pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris and are positively correlated with the severity of psoriasis, and may be one of the immunohistochemical predictors of the severity of the disease.
