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 common, chronic and relapsing immune-related inflammatory dermal disease. Patients with psoriasis suffering from the recurrences is mainly caused by immune response disorder. Thus, our study is aimed to identify novel immune subtypes and select targeted drugs for the precision therapy in different subtypes of psoriasis.

methodsDifferentially expressed genes of psoriasis were identified from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Functional and disease enrichment were performed by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and Disease Ontology Semantic and Enrichment analysis. Hub genes of psoriasis were selected from protein-protein interaction networks using Metascape database. The expression of hub genes was validated in human psoriasis samples by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. Further, novel immune subtypes of psoriasis were identified by ConsensusClusterPlus package and its association with hub genes were calculated. Immune infiltration analysis was performed, and its candidate drugs were evaluated by Connectivity Map analysis.

results182 differentially expressed genes of psoriasis were identified from GSE14905 cohort, in which 99 genes were significantly up-regulated and 83 genes were down-regulated. We then conducted functional and disease enrichment in up-regulated genes of psoriasis. Five potential hub genes of psoriasis were obtained, including SOD2, PGD, PPIF, GYS1 and AHCY. The high expression of hub genes was validated in human psoriasis samples. Notably, two novel immune subtypes of psoriasis were determined and defined as C1 and C2. Bioinformatic analysis showed C1 and C2 had different enrichment in immune cells. Further, candidate drugs and mechanism of action that applicable to different subtypes were evaluated.

conclusionsOur study identified two novel immune subtypes and five potential hub genes of psoriasis. These findings might give insight into the pathogenesis of psoriasis and provide effective immunotherapy regimens for the precise treatment of psoriasis.
