Relationship between uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) levels and psoriasis.

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
Background/aim: Psoriasis is a common chronic autoimmune skin disease. Comorbidities increase the mortality risk of the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) level in psoriasis patients and evaluate its possible role in the pathogenesis of the disease, focusing on disease severity (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index), dyslipidemia, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk. Materials and methods: This study included 30 psoriasis patients and 30 healthy individuals as a control group. Serum UCP1 was measured using an ELISA test kit. The laboratory results of psoriasis patients and healthy controls were compared. Results: UCP1 level was a significant candidate marker for the prediction of psoriatic disease (AUC: 0.708, 95% CI: 0.577-0.819, p = 0.002) with sensitivity of 66.67%, specificity of 76.67%, negative predictive value of 69.7%, and positive predictive value of 74.1%. Simple logistic regression analysis showed that an individual with a UCP1 value below 7.561 had a 73% lower probability (OR: 0.27, 95% CI: 0.08-0.94, p = 0.039) of developing psoriasis than an individual with a UCP1 value above 7.561. Among the biochemical parameters, the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and triglyceride levels of the patients were significantly higher compared to those of the healthy controls while their high-density lipoprotein levels were lower. Conclusion: According to the sensitivity (66.67%) and specificity (76.67%) of UCP1, it may be a valuable candidate marker in the diagnosis of psoriasis patients in symptomatic and asymptomatic phases. Further work is needed to substantiate these findings.
