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 autoimmune skin disease that has been associated with many polymorphic genes based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS). To perform gene ontology and biological pathway analysis of genes associated with psoriasis and also to investigate the degree of commonality of psoriasis-associated loci with susceptibility loci of some other autoimmune diseases, a total of 319 psoriasis-associated polymorphic protein-coding genes were included in the analysis. The web-based Enrichr was used for performing present analysis. Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and JAK-STAT signaling were predicted by KEGG analysis. The top biological process and molecular function were positive regulation of cytokine production and cytokine receptor activity, respectively. The present findings revealed that the psoriasis-associated genes were significantly involved in the immune system and its functions, consistent with the autoimmune nature of the disease. The present study revealed that there were 10 genes shared between psoriasis and other 5 autoimmune diseases, interestingly, these genes were significantly enriched in the JAK-STAT pathway (adjusted p-value = 3.75e-5). There were several multifactorial diseases and complex traits that had a statistically significant commonality between their predisposing genes and psoriasis predisposing genes. The current findings suggest that the JAK-STAT pathway is likely involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, such as many other autoimmune diseases. Therefore, it is suggested that inhibitors that block the gene transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines by blocking intracellular signaling pathways mediated by JAK-STAT may be a good model for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including psoriasis.
