Increased Level of Serum Wingless-Type Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus Integration Site Family Member 5a in Patients with Cutaneous Lichen Planus.

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
purposeCutaneous lichen planus (CLP) is an autoinflammatory skin disorder, and it is associated with metabolic syndrome. Wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site family member 5a (Wnt5a) is a potential factor in metabolic complications and it was shown to be upregulated in CLP lesions. Whether Wnt5a is altered in the circulation of patients with CLP is unclear. This study aimed to measure serum Wnt5a level in patients with CLP and to assess its relationship with body mass index (BMI).
methodsWe included 46 adult patients with CLP and 38 healthy adults as control. Serum Wnt5a was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsThe mean serum Wnt5a was significantly higher in patients than controls (all
conclusionSerum Wnt5a might be a potential biomarker for CLP and it was associated with BMI. An increase in serum Wnt5a may contribute to the development of metabolic comorbidity in CLP patients.
