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 inflammatory skin disease, is driven by immune dysregulation and keratinocyte hyperproliferation, with current biologics facing limitations. Emerging evidence points to mitochondrial dysfunction and a pathological shift to aerobic glycolysis as core disease drivers. Here, we report that MitoFu-O, a novel mitochondria-targeting TPP-thiazole derivative, effectively ameliorates psoriasiform inflammation in imiquimod-induced mice and cytokine-stimulated keratinocytes. Mechanistically, MitoFu-O acts by inhibiting pathological glycolysis, downregulating key glycolytic enzymes (HK1, GAPDH, LDHA), and subsequently suppressing the activation of pivotal pro-inflammatory signaling pathways (MAPK, NF-κB, and STAT3). Our findings establish targeted mitochondrial modulation as a potent therapeutic strategy, positioning MitoFu-O as a promising lead compound that acts upstream of cytokine signaling by normalizing the metabolic reprogramming fundamental to psoriatic pathogenesis.
