RORγt inverse agonists demonstrating a margin between inhibition of IL-17A and thymocyte apoptosis.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Multiple genetic associations suggest a causative relationship between Th17-related genes coding for proteins, such as IL-17A, IL-23 and STAT3, and psoriasis. Further support for this link comes from the findings that neutralizing antibodies directed against IL-17A, IL-17RA and IL-23 are efficacious in diseases like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. RORγt is a centrally positioned transcription factor driving Th17 polarization and cytokine secretion and modulation of RORγt may thus provide additional benefit to patients. However, RORγt also plays a role in the normal development of T cells in the thymus and genetic disruption of RORγt in the mouse leads to the development of lymphoma originating in the thymus. Whilst it is not established that down-regulation of RORγt activity would lead to the same consequence in humans, further understanding of the thymus effects is desirable to support progress of this target as a potential treatment of Th17-driven disease. Herein we present the characterisation of recently disclosed RORγt inverse agonists demonstrating target engagement and efficacy in vitro and in vivo against Th17 endpoints but requiring higher concentrations in vitro to affect thymocyte apoptosis.
