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

introductionThe pathophysiology of Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) involves altered innate and adaptive immunity, mutagenic and epigenetic changes, the autoinflammatory state, and the overexpression of cytokines. This study investigated the potential contribution of inflammation, redox signaling, and the immune system in the pathogenesis of PG. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis case-control study included 36 patients with PG and 30 controls. We have determined the serum concentrations of acute phase proteins (C-reactive protein-CRP, alpha1 glycoprotein acid-AGPA, Albumin), interleukin-17A -IL-17A, β2 microglobulin-β2MG, reduced glutathione-GSH, oxidized glutathione- GSSG, the GSH/GSSG ratio, and hematological parameters (white blood cells-WBC, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio-NLR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate-ESR) in patients with PG compared with controls. Furthermore, we have evaluated the variations in these markers before and after treatment in PG patients.

resultsThe serum concentrations of acute phase proteins (CRP, AGPA, and Albumin) and the IL-17A, β2MG, GSH, GSSG, and GSH/GSSG ratio were significantly different between the PG group and controls. Hematological parameters (WBC, NLR, and ESR), acute phase proteins (CRP, AGPA, and albumin), and IL-17A showed an exaggerated and persistent inflammatory response in patients with PG. In patients with PG associated with systemic diseases, the dysregulation of the biochemical events was more severe.

conclusionsThe acute phase proteins, β2MG-MHC class I complex, and the GSH-GSSG system are unbalanced in PG. Our results could improve the diagnosis and our understanding of the pathogenic basis of PG.
