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

backgroundPsoriasis, an inflammatory autoimmune disease, arises from intricate interactions between the immune system and epithelium. Recent reports have suggested new roles for gamma delta (γδ) T-cells in addition to immune surveillance, however, it remains to be determined whether the mechanisms identified in psoriasis murine models have a similar role in humans. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between IL-17 A mRNA expression levels and γδ T-cell frequency in human psoriatic lesions, and to clarify the potential role of γδ T-cells in psoriasis pathogenesis.

methodsThe study involved 20 patients diagnosed with psoriasis and 16 control subjects. Expression of the IL-17 A gene was measured in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues by RT-PCR method. TCRγδ

resultsIn psoriatic lesion biopsies, TCRγδ

conclusionA weak negative correlation between IL-17 A mRNA levels and γδ T-cell presence in human psoriasis lesions highlighting the novel effector functions of these cells in psoriasis pathogenesis.
