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, a chronic immune-mediated dermatological disease with high recurrence rates and limited therapeutic efficacy, requires novel treatment strategies. Dictamni Cortex (BXP), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has demonstrated potential in alleviating psoriasis; however, its clinical application is hampered by poor water solubility and low bioavailability. It is developed infinite coordination polymer nanoparticles (BXP-Fe (III) ICPs, NB), which enhance the aqueous solubility by 95-fold and bioavailability of BXP, exerting therapeutic effect through efficient transdermal delivery. NB significantly suppresses keratinocyte hyperproliferation, inflammation, and oxidative stress in both M5 (a cocktail of cytokines)-treated human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKa) cells and imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriatic mice. Nascent proteomics identified heat shock protein 90 alpha family class B member 1 (HSP90AB1) as a key target downregulated by NB. It is further revealed that NB suppresses HSP90AB1 transcription by inhibiting its activator, CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), and disrupts the HSP90AB1-CDC37 (cell division cycle 37, the co-chaperone) chaperone complex, thereby inactivating the pivotal client proteins STAT3 and Akt. Notably, NB demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy over the canonical HSP90 inhibitor AUY922. This study highlights NB as a promising topical nanotherapy for psoriasis, integrating TCM with modern nanotechnology to overcome pharmacological limitations. The underlying molecular mechanisms of NB are elucidated through the CTCF-HSP90AB1-STAT3 axis.
