Identification of key apoptosis-related genes and immune infiltration in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
Article in Hereditas, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPsoriasis is a condition in which skin cells build up and form itchy scales and dry patches. It is also considered a common lifelong disease with an unclear pathogenesis. Furthermore, an effective cure for psoriasis is still unavailable. Reductive apoptosis of keratinocytes and immune infiltration are common in psoriasis. This study aimed to explore underlying functions of key apoptosis-related genes and the characteristics of immune infiltration in psoriasis. We used GSE13355 and GSE30999 to screen differentially expressed apoptosis related genes (DEARGs) in our study. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed using clusterProfiler package. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to acquire key DEARGs. Transcription factor (TF)-target and miRNA-mRNA network analyses, drug sensitivity prediction, and immune infiltration were applied. Key DEARGs were validated using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).
resultsWe identified 482 and 32 DEARGs from GSE13355 and GSE30999, respectively. GO analysis showed that DEARGs were commonly enriched in cell chemotaxis, receptor ligand activity, and signaling receptor activator activity. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor was maximally enriched pathway. The GSEA analysis of GSE13355 and GSE30999 demonstrated a high consistency degree of enriched pathways. Thirteen key DEARGs with upregulation were obtained in the PPI network. Eleven key DEARGs were confirmed using RT-qPCR. Additionally, 5 TFs and 553 miRNAs were acquired, and three novel drugs were predicted. Moreover, Dendritic.cells.activated exhibited high levels of immune infiltration while Mast.cells.resting showed low levels of immune infiltration in psoriasis groups.
conclusionResults of this study may reveal some insights into the underlying molecular mechanism of psoriasis and provide novel targeted drugs.
