Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen in Psoriasis: An Immunohistochemical Study.
Article in The Journal of clinical and aesthetic dermatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSquamous cell carcinoma antigens (SCCA1, SCCA2) are members of the ovalbumin serpin family that have been described as biomarkers of squamous cell carcinomas. Different studies to date have stated the involvement of SCCA in the pathogenesis of certain immunological diseases, such as asthma and atopic dermatitis.
objectiveWe sought to assess the expression of SCCA2 in the skin of patients with chronic plaque psoriasis and to detect its correlation with the clinical severity of psoriasis and with the density of inflammatory infiltrates in the skin lesions.
methodsSkin biopsies were taken from 24 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 24 healthy controls by 5-mm punches. Tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin to confirm the diagnosis and to assess the grade of inflammation. The expression level of SCCA2 in the skin was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis.
resultsThe tissue SCCA2 level was significantly higher in psoriatic patients than controls and correlated positively with the severity of psoriasis. In addition, the dermal SCCA2 expression correlated positively with the density of dermal inflammatory infiltrates.
conclusionSCCA2 could be a useful marker of the clinical severity and the grade of inflammation of psoriasis.
