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

In the context of Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV), an autoimmune skin disorder, our study explores the intricate relationship between dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis in PV. We investigated lipid profiles in PV patients, revealing significant dyslipidemia marked by elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B, alongside decreased high-density lipoprotein and serum calcium levels. The imbalance was found to augment oxidative stress, evident from increased oxidative stress markers in lesion tissues and serum. Notably, oxidative stress correlated with classic PV biomarkers, anti-DSG1/DSG3 antibodies. Lipid-induced oxidative stress was further confirmed in vitro using HaCaT cells treated with PV patient serum, which led to STAT3 activation and mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis. This apoptosis was characterized by changes in mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of apoptotic proteins, implicating oxidative stress as a key player in PV pathogenesis. Our findings suggest the critical connections between lipid disturbances, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and STAT3 activation in PV, offering potential avenues for novel therapeutic interventions.
