FTO deficiency facilitates epithelia dysfunction in oral lichen planus.

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
The fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) is identified as regulating mammalian development and diseases by removing methyl groups from RNAs. However, the roles of FTO in the context of oral lichen planus (OLP) remain unknown. Here, we demonstrated that the protein levels of FTO in the keratinocytes from OLP patients were down-regulated compared to those from healthy participants. At the molecular level, we explained that GSK-3β-induced phosphorylation promoted FTO protein degradation in diseased oral keratinocytes. Using a cell co-culture model, we further confirmed that FTO deficiency facilitated NF-κB activation and apoptosis in oral keratinocytes under inflammatory conditions. Vitamin D receptor (VDR), which plays a protective role in OLP, was mediated by FTO in an RNA
