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

backgroundPsoriasis is a multifactorial, chronic immunological disease, in which a specific allele HLA-Cw6 is associated with various clinical manifestations. However, information regarding this genetic factor in Korean patients with psoriasis remains limited.

objectiveWe aimed to explore the differences in clinical patterns and treatment responsiveness, depending on the expression of HLA-Cw6, in Korean patients with psoriasis.

methodsWe divided patients into two groups, namely HLA-Cw6-positive and HLA-Cw6-negative, based on the HLA-Cw6 allelic analysis using the single specific primer-polymerase chain reaction method. All clinical information regarding these patients was collected in a retrospective manner. Next, we evaluated the levels of serum Th17-related cytokines in 34 patients diagnosed with psoriasis using a multiplex immunoassay. Finally, we performed immunohistochemical staining of interleukin (IL)-22 and IL-31, as these cytokines showed the maximum differential expression between the HLA-Cw6 positive and negative groups.

resultsHLA-Cw6 positive and negative groups comprised of 13 and 21 patients, respectively. HLA-Cw6-positive group had more chance of having metabolic comorbidities (76.9% for HLA-Cw6-positive group; 28.6% for HLA-Cw6-negative group;

conclusionHLA-Cw6 types can be associated with disease severity, comorbidities, and treatment responsiveness in Korean patients with psoriasis.
