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

Objective: As a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, psoriasis seriously affects the physical health and psychological well-being of patients. Various clinical treatments for psoriasis have their own drawbacks, so it is important to find effective and safe drugs. Rehmannioside A (ReA) has anti-inflammatory properties and is the main active ingredient in Fuzhengzhiyanghefuzhiyang decoction (FZHFZY), an herbal compound for the treatment of psoriasis. But no studies have been conducted to determine whether ReA alone can treat psoriasis. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effect of ReA in the treatment of psoriasis and its potential mechanism of action. Methods: HaCaT cells were treated with ReA and IL-17A alone for 24 h and 48 h, and the most effective concentrations of ReA and interleukin (IL)-17A were found at 25 μg/mL and 100 ng/mL, respectively. A psoriasis cell model was constructed by stimulating HaCaT cells with IL-17A, followed by intervention with ReA. Cell viability and cell cycle distribution were measured by MTT assay and flow cytometry. The expression levels of keratin family members and chemokines were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and key proteins of TRAF6/MAPK signaling pathway by Western blot. Results: ReA weaken cell viability, down-regulate the expression of keratin family members (KRT6 and KRT17), restore cell cycle distribution to normal distribution, inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1β) and lower the expression of chemokines (S100A7, S100A9 and CXCL2) by interfering with the interaction between HaCaT cells and IL-17A. Thus, it exerts an anti-psoriatic effect by reducing the inflammatory response and inhibiting abnormal proliferation of HaCaT cells. Mechanistically, ReA inhibited the TRAF6/MAPK signaling pathway activated by IL-17A stimulation in HaCaT cells. Conclusion: ReA has in vitro anti-psoriatic effects and may be a new therapeutic agent for psoriasis.
