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 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share similar inflammatory pathways in their pathogenesis. The stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) pathway has recently been shown to play an important role in immune and metabolic diseases. In this study, we investigated the activation of the STING-IRF3 pathway in human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) cells treated with palmitic acid (PA) and imiquimod (IMQ). Additionally, we detected the STING-IRF3 pathway in diabetic mice with imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis and assessed the potential of STING inhibitor C-176. Furthermore, skin samples from patients with psoriasis and diabetes were collected for immunohistochemical analysis. The results indicated that the STING-IRF3 pathway was activated in HaCaT cells. Moreover, the STING pathway was also found to be induced in the skin tissue of diabetic mice with psoriasis; the inflammatory responses were ameliorated by treatment with C-176. In the skin tissue samples of patients with psoriasis and diabetes, immunohistochemistry showed that the expression levels of STING and phosphorylated IRF3 were also significantly increased. Thus, we conclude that the STING-IRF3 pathway is involved in the inflammatory response in the manifestation of psoriasis with T2DM. Inhibition of the activation of the STING pathway can ameliorate the development of psoriasis in diabetes and could be targeted for the development of therapeutic agents for these conditions.
