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 refers to a highly prevalent and immunologically mediated dermatosis with considerable deterioration in life quality. Wogonin, a sort of flavonoid, has been mentioned to elicit protective activities in skin diseases. However, whether Wogonin is implicated in the treatment of psoriasis and its specific mechanisms are not fully understood.

aimThe present work attempted to elaborate the role of Wogonin during the process of psoriasis and to concentrate on the associated action mechanism.

methodsCell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method was initially applied to assay the viability of human keratinocyte HaCaT cells treated by varying concentrations of Wogonin. To mimic psoriasis in vitro, HaCaT cells were exposed to M5 cytokines. CCK-8 and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine  assays were adopted for the measurement of cell proliferation. Inflammatory levels were examined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunofluorescence staining tested nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and Caspase-1 expressions. Western blot examined the protein expressions of proliferation-, inflammation-, pyroptosis-associated factors, and NLRP3.

resultsWogonin treatment antagonized the proliferation, inflammatory response, and NLRP3/caspase-1/Gasdermin-D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis in M5-challenged HaCaT cells. Besides, NLRP3 elevation partially abrogated the effects of Wogonin on M5-induced proliferation, inflammatory response, and NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in HaCaT cells.

conclusionIn a word, Wogonin might exert anti-proliferation, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyroptosis activities in M5-induced cell model of psoriasis and the blockade of NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway might be recognized as a potential mechanism underlying the protective mechanism of Wogonin in psoriasis, suggesting Wogonin as a prospective anti-psoriasis drug.
