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

BackgroundIncreasing evidence shows that, compared with the general population, the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 is significantly higher in patients with psoriasis treated with immunosuppressive therapy. However, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been clarified.Materials and methodsThe aim of this study was to further investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying these two diseases. Gene expression profiles for coronavirus disease 2019 and psoriasis were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database (GSE150316 and GSE30999). After identifying the common differentially expressed genes between coronavirus disease 2019 and psoriasis, functional annotation, protein-protein interaction network analysis, module construction, and hub gene identification were performed. Finally, transcription factor-gene regulatory and transcription factor-miRNA regulatory networks of the hub genes were constructed.ResultsA total of 306 common differentially expressed genes, including 168 upregulated genes and 138 downregulated genes, were identified and used for subsequent analysis. According to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis, the Rap1 signaling pathway, axon guidance, and focal adhesion contribute to the occurrence and development of coronavirus disease 2019 and psoriasis. Finally, five hub genes, namely EGF, IL1B, SERPINA1, CD8A, and WNT5A, were identified using the CytoHubba plug-in. Among them, three hub genes (EGF, SERPINA1, and CD8A) showed good diagnostic marker value for coronavirus disease 2019 and psoriasis.ConclusionOur findings suggest that coronavirus disease 2019 and psoriasis share common molecular mechanisms that are driven by several specific hub genes. This study provides new insights into the relationship between coronavirus disease 2019 and psoriasis.
