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

Increased intestinal permeability and gut dysbiosis are important factors in the pathophysiology of psoriasis and its associated conditions. Claudin-3 is a protein that is found in tight junctions and may be used to assess the integrity of the gut barrier. The aim of this study was to investigate serum concentration of Claudin- 3 (CLDN3) in patients with psoriasis. Exploring its possible relations with patients' demographic, clinical and laboratory findings was another objective. Fifty psoriatic patients and thirty-five age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers served as the study's control group in this case-control, hospital-based research. The amount of serum CLDN3 was determined by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA). Concentration of serum CLDN3 was found to be significantly higher in patients with psoriasis. (p = 0.002). There was no statistically significant correlation between CLDN3 and patient's clinical & laboratory variables. We demonstrated that gut permeability is dysfunctional in patients with psoriasis as indicated by reduction of serum CLDN3. Further investigations are needed to determine whether modulation of gut barrier may represent a new therapeutic approach for psoriasis.
