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 disease of overactive immune system. OVOL1 and Filaggrin have been associated with many inflammatory skin lesions. To the best of our knowledge, the correlation between OVOL1 and Filaggrin in psoriasis was not previously investigated. This work aims to search the immunohistochemical expression and correlation between OVOL1 and Filaggrin in psoriasis. MATERIALS AND

methodsSlides cut from paraffin blocks of 30 psoriasis cases and 30 control subjects were stained with OVOL1 and Filaggrin. Clinicopathological data were correlated with the results of staining.

resultsOVOL1 and Filaggrin expression in epidermis showed a significant gradual reduction from normal skin to peri-lesional and psoriasis biopsies (P < 0.001). In contrast, psoriasis dermis showed a significant overexpression of OVOL1 in inflammatory cells in relation to peri-lesional biopsies (P < 0.002). OVOL1 demonstrated a significant direct correlation with Filaggrin expression in psoriasis (r = 0.568, P < 0.004). OVOL1 and Filaggrin expression in psoriasis skin epidermis demonstrated a statistically significant negative correlation with PASI score.

conclusionOVOL1 and Filaggrin might be involved in psoriasis-associated inflammation and skin hyperproliferation. OVOL1 might have a protective barrier function in the skin and could be used to stratify progressive disease. Filaggrin may play a role in progression of psoriasis. OVOL1 inhibition could be considered in suppression of Filaggrin function. OVOL1 agonists may be beneficial in psoriasis treatment.
