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

Psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease that is caused by the immune system. Amygdalin possesses immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects. To explore the possible effects of amygdalin on psoriasis and its pathogenesis of action, we examined the effects of amygdalin on imiquimod-induced psoriasis, tape-stripping-induced skin barrier disruption, and investigated the potential mechanism of action in vitro. The fact that amygdalin could reduce the thickness of the epidermis and inflammatory cell infiltration in two animal models inhibited the production of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-a, and the expression of filaggrin, involucrin, and keratin10 was increased. Also, in IL-17 A and TNF-α induced HaCaT, amygdalin inhibits the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-a, promoting the expression of skin barrier recovery-related proteins flaggrin, involucrin, and keratin10. Combined in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that amygdalin modulates inflammation and the skin barrier in psoriasis. The same study also conducted a preliminary mechanistic exploration and found that amygdalin inhibited the phosphorylation of the p38MAPK signaling pathway. In conclusion, Amygdalin can alleviate psoriasis lesions and improve skin barrier impairment, and the research provides an experimental basis for its future development as a drug candidate for psoriasis therapy.
