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 characterized by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and immune dysregulation. Altered lipid metabolism has been implicated in its pathogenesis, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we generated a keratinocyte-specific Sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 1 (SPRY1) knockout (Spry1ΔEpi) mouse model, which exhibits psoriasis-like symptoms. Using both psoriasis patient samples and Spry1ΔEpi mice, we investigated the role of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) in psoriasis. Our results show that DGAT2 expression was reduced and glyceride metabolism was disrupted in psoriatic lesions in both patients with psoriasis and Spry1ΔEpi mice. Lipidomic analysis revealed significant alterations in glycerides, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and fatty acids in Spry1ΔEpi mice. At the cellular level, DGAT2 downregulation and lipid dysregulation enhanced TLR3-mediated inflammatory signaling in keratinocytes. Furthermore, increased DGAT2 secretion from keratinocytes promoted CD8+ T cell activation, proliferation, and survival, amplifying psoriatic inflammation. These findings highlight the role of DGAT2 and lipid metabolism in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and reveal their interaction with immune responses in psoriasis.
