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

Microabscess of neutrophils in epidermis is one of the histological hallmarks of psoriasis. The axis of neutrophil-keratinocyte has been thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. However, the features and mechanism of interaction between the two cell types remain largely unknown. Herein, we found that blood neutrophils were increased in psoriasis patients, positively correlated with disease severity and highly expressed CD66b, but not CD11b and CD62L compared to healthy controls. Keratinocytes expressed high levels of psoriasis-related inflammatory mediators by direct and indirect interaction with neutrophils isolated from psoriasis patients and healthy controls. The capacity of neutrophils in provoking keratinocytes inflammatory response was comparable between the two groups and is dependent on IL-17A produced by itself. Neutrophils isolated from psoriasis patients displayed more transcriptome changes related to integrin and increased migration capacity toward keratinocytes with high CD11b expression on cell surface. Of interest, neutrophils were more susceptible to keratinocyte stimulation than to fibroblasts and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in terms of CD11b expression and the production of ROS and NETs. In conclusion, neutrophils from psoriasis patients gain a strong capacity of IL-17A production and integrins expression that possibly facilitates their abilities to promote production of psoriasis-related inflammatory mediators and migration, a phenomenon likely induced by their interaction with keratinocytes but not with fibroblasts. These findings provide a proof-of-concept that development of new drugs targeting migration of neutrophils could be a more specific and safe solution to treat psoriasis.
