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 (Pso) is a chronic erythema squamous disease often accompanied by metabolic abnormalities. Disturbances in lactate metabolism have been observed in the skin of patients with Pso, but the role of lactate metabolism in the pathogenesis of Pso remains unclear. To identify core genes associated with lactate metabolism in Pso, we downloaded and merged two Pso-related datasets (GSE13355, GSE109248) from the GEO database. Through comprehensive analysis, we analyzed the functions associated with these hub genes and the correlation between their expression levels and immune infiltration. Additionally, we explored lactate metabolism-related hub genes in different immune cells using single-cell sequencing data. We identified four lactate metabolism-related hub genes that are highly associated with Pso. Further analysis revealed that these four hub genes were significantly correlated with the levels of immune cell infiltration. To further elucidate the impact of lactate metabolism on immune cells, we analyzed single-cell sequencing data from healthy controls and Pso patients. The expression of lactate metabolism-related hub genes was primarily observed in moDCs and T cells. These results suggest that lactate metabolism-related genes and their functions are closely associated with changes in inflammatory cells in Pso patients. This study provides new insights into the role of lactate metabolism in the pathogenesis of Pso and highlights potential therapeutic targets for the disease.
