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 relapsing dermatosis characterized by hyperproliferation and poor differentiation of keratinocytes (KCs). The c-Myc gene is one of the main members of the Myc family and exerts multiple biological functions. C-Myc is highly expressed in psoriatic lesions. The co-expressed genes and coexisting factors of c-Myc determine the final survival of cells. The high expression levels of c-Myc in the skin lesions of psoriatic patients are associated with the continuous proliferation of KCs, and form an abnormal state of epidermal dynamics. C-Myc is also involved in the induction of metabolic reprogramming of cells in the development of psoriasis, thus exacerbating the excessive proliferation of psoriatic epidermis. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms of the transcription factor c-Myc in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and its clinical implications.
