Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 Attenuates Psoriasis Pathogenesis by Suppressing Th17 Cell Differentiation.
Article in Inflammation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling has multiple functions in immune cells, especially in the differentiation of T cells. Previously, we found that BMP6 can dramatically promote the IFN-γ production in Th1. However, the interactions between BMP6 and Th17 cells remain poorly characterized. The evidence implicates dysregulated Th17 cell differentiation as a pivotal mechanism in psoriatic pathogenesis, yet the therapeutic potential of BMP6 in this autoimmune disease needs to be further explored. This study aimed to evaluate the potentially beneficial role of BMP6 in the Th17-induced psoriatic models and investigate its possible mechanisms. Th17 cells were intervened with BMP6 in vitro. The differentiation of Th17 was observed through multi-platform assessment combining flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and ELISA. Signaling pathway activation was evaluated by Western blotting. RNAseq was used to further discover the impact of BMP6 on Th17. For in vivo experiments, the psoriatic model of C57BL/6 mice was established and treated with BMP6 i.d., and the Th17 cells were evaluated by flow cytometry. BMP6 treatment suppressed Th17 differentiation via the Smad1/5/9 pathway and impaired mitochondrial metabolism of Th17. In the imiquimod-induced psoriatic murine model, pharmacological BMP6 administration significantly attenuated disease progression and downregulated pathogenic Th17 cell frequency in lesional skin. Our finding elucidates the potential mechanism underlying the inhibitory effects of BMP6 in Th17-induced autoimmune diseases and furnish a theoretical foundation for its clinical application.
